Learning Haskell has been a side project of mine the summer of two years ago, when there were a bit less tools to help newbies. Not an issue for me, since I've grown used to run code in my mind while reading it, because I firstly learned C without a computer for testing code on. I need fewer "reality checks" than more "hands on" developers (but I still throw snippets at the compiler to understand the gory details). I think Haskell is for those mathematically oriented both because only mathematicians would have cared to wrestle with monads to achieve purity (Clean is as pure as Haskell, with no monads in sight) and because its notation, whose succintness matches that of maths. I confess I've been scared of Haskell's heavy leaning on operators and many levels of precedence among them. I prefer more verbose languages. I'm not mathematically oriented, I think. Have a nice day.
