  It's weird to see a comment I wrote 4 years ago saying "Yeah, I haven't really touched this in 3 years." Man, I'm getting old. Still, it's neat to see folks still find this interesting & informative. I learned a lot from writing it, and I hope others learn a lot from reading & working through it.

    Thanks for writing it. It was one of the things that helped me makes some sense of Haskell. So much of what I had been seeing was all heavy math and abstractions, and while that's interesting it never gave me a foothold for actually using it. Seeing something much more tangible made a big difference.

      I have the same feeling (and appreciation)– it inspired me to try learning both Haskell and Scheme. Still not sure if I'm an idiot or just insatiable.

        I gotta agree. It helps that Parsec is so awesome and Scheme so straightforward--very little cruft to cover.

    Thank you, I was looking for exactly this kind of Haskell tutorial. I really liked learnyouahaskell, but realworld Haskell not soo much. Will give this a go.

  Wikibooks really needs to get syntax highlighting - I find it helps me a lot when reading code.
