You took the words right out of my mouth. I had a bit different language history, but I'm right with you on Haskell. I have always found that it's quickest to just dive in. It's kind of like learning natural languages by immersion...nothing works as fast as dumping yourself in a foreign country where you have no choice but to learn to communicate in their language. Reading some choice books and tutorials can certainly help, but there's really no substitute to writing code.
