Good point, haha, I did see the irony while writing that. I’ve moved that paragraph up toward the top in the hope it helps somewhat. :P The thing about a lot of these big scary concepts in Haskell is that they’re really simple, the kind of thing where, once it clicks, you go “Oh! That’s all?”, but that doesn’t mean they’re easy—you’ve got to get familiar with the notation and jargon, and spend time building intuition from examples and just trying things out. Nowadays I think of my process of learning new things as “try to realise how simple it is”, i.e. “what do experts understand (or just have memorised) that makes this easy for them?” It’s been a lot more motivating and pleasant than my old tactic of “try to cram this into my head without ‘chewing’ and hope my brain can digest it”.
