IMHO that book is bloated and overrated. Maybe it works for some people, but I find the explanations really weird and some of the exercises are just useless busywork without a point.
There are good parts in there (they do try to teach you how to properly think about types which is nice) but I really feel like you don't need to read 1000 pages to learn basic Haskell.
- 7thaccount 3y agoFine. I also read Learn You a Haskell, the O'Reilly one and a myriad of other sources. In comparison, Python was a cake walk.
- Tainnor 3y agoOh I agree that Haskell is complicated to learn, I just happen to think that that book kinda makes it even worse.
