You can try the /r/haskell subreddit. They'll have more detailed information there, and on the subreddit you can browse some of the topics and projects currently going on in the haskell world, which may give you a better idea of what haskell is capable of. Also, if you haven't been getting traction with the #haskell IRC channel, try the #nothaskell channel. The title is a little confusing (it should be called something like #notjusthaskell), but they try to be more helpful there than the regular #haskell generally is. You may also want to check out this recent post about the quality of various haskell resources: http://bitemyapp.com/posts/2014-12-31-functional-education.html http://bitemyapp.com/posts/2014-12-31-functional-education.h...

I have seen the /r/haskell subreddit. I lurked there for a few of months and my overall impression of it unfortunately is a sizable portion of people on that subreddit treat others exactly in the way which I have been treated while trying to learn Haskell, which is quite a shame. :-( Do you have nay experience with the #haskell-beginner channel and knowledge about the degree of helpfulness there compared to #nothaskell? I will check out the link; thanks a bunch!

I spend a lot of time on /r/haskell and am keen to keep it an encouraging place for new visitors.
