I probably can't help you much there, I think LYAH is pretty good. Are you trying to avoid learning monads, or you want a different approach to learning them?

I probably can't help you much there, I think LYAH is pretty good. Are you trying to avoid learning monads, or you want a different approach to learning them? I think this is the best explanation of monads: http://blog.sigfpe.com/2006/08/you-could-have-invented-monads-and.html http://blog.sigfpe.com/2006/08/you-could-have-invented-monad... GHC itself is a good example project to look at, the base libraries tend to all be pretty idiomatic. Xmonad is a good option too.
