I went through most of the Hutton book but I already had an elementary background in the language. Then some of the recommended CIS194 course. (3-6 months spent studying total.) Finally I decided upon a project that was right in one of Haskell's strong points: parsing/compilation [0]. Everything was a Google search: how to start a Haskell project with Nix? How parse command-line arguments? How to write a parser for a calculator? What the hell does this compiler error mean??!! Find the answer and get straight back to it. I would still consider myself intermediate, and not proficient, at the language. While it is one person's opinion (albeit well explained) I strongly appreciated Chris Allen's efforts to evaluate existing learning material (prior to co-writing his book) as well as recommending a learning path [2]. Ultimately there is multitudinous material to study. For the textbook-like route, choose something that seems sensible and commit, leaving only when it appears to no longer be fulfilling the purpose. Juggling too many artifacts is like interrupting programmers. I don't use VS Code but again, my elementary knowledge of the language, plus sufficiency with GHCi, meant I could stay within my Vim comfort zone. If anyone has a good single resource for configuring Vim for Haskell I'd love to see it?
