Looks interesting!
A long time ago, I had wondered if Lisp would be a better introduction to programming for beginners. Now we can see some practical experiences from this attempt to use Haskell.
I looked at the code samples provided; from a cursory review, the fourth class code looks to be purely functional, although fairly simple.
The fifth second class code is more advanced code, but a lot of it is procedural. I wonder if Haskell experts might weigh in here -- is it worth doing Haskell with so much procedural code?
I am a novice in Haskell, but I have tried to embrace its functional nature entirely. I think I would advocate learning Go or Python rather than Haskell if the code is going to be procedural anyway.
