This will solve that problem for you: http://learnyouahaskell.com/ http://learnyouahaskell.com/ One of the best intro programming books around, just happens to be about Haskell. Miran has a knack for explaining complex technical concepts. Haskell's structure is actually incredibly readable - significant whitespace enforces uniformity across all codebases, and syntactically separating function type signatures from function declarations is far more readable than, say, Scala where it's all crammed together in one line. You do have to learn all the operators though, but again, Miran's book is really good for that.
