Even if you have to do look at scraps of it in your cupped hands while The Master yells at you for not working, functional programming is a wonderful little Eden of direct expression and general well-thought-outedness.
FWIW, Real World Haskell's a great, readable book. The first FP-language book[1] where I can really just lie down with it and read a chapter before going to sleep.
[1] with all due respect to PG's Ansi Common Lisp, RWH takes a more verbose and guiding style.
- gaius 18y agoIt would be, if Amazon would ever ship it to me! Is it generally available in the US? I may just order from there and eat the cost of shipping.

- gaius 18y agoYeah, me too, they keep apologizing for the delay.
