I've no idea whether he thinks it's the only good Haskell book (do you have a reference for him claiming that?) but there is a sizeable segment of the Haskell community that considers it the best Haskell book. (I've never read it, personally.)
- austenallred 9y agoIt pretty clearly, in my mind, is the best Haskell book. There are really only a couple attempts ever made at writing a Haskell book, so there’s not too terribly much competition.
- coolsunglasses 9y agoThere are many Haskell books. I bought and read a couple dozen for HPFFP, there are more than that but many aren't meant to be end-to-end introductions to Haskell. It would be surprising if it were otherwise given its origins and age.
