I'm definitely purchasing! I've read the online version twice now and it's been an invaluable learning tool. I started with a very shaky understanding of functional programming and LYSE kept me engaged and learning the entire time. After reading and doing some experimenting, I have a solid enough foundation now to develop professional projects in Erlang. I think my only complaint would be the chapter on FSMs... a FSM is probably not the tool I would have used to solve the example problem ;) Thanks again!

I love LYAH, I think for learning Haskell, LYAH is the best intro, better than Real World Haskell. And at first I thought LYSE would be a sort of 1:1 mapping of LYAH, but no, LYSE treats it subject matter to a much wider breadth. There are like 20 extra chapters! And the "Don't drink too much Kool Aid" sections are a nice feature, not a lot of books call out the hype about something and give you the real low-down. Quite refreshing to get a realistic, pragmatic view instead. Thanks to the author for making it available for free online. Im going to go purchase my copy now.
