Great read. I've finally taken the plunge and have spent the last 3 weeks extensively studying Haskell in the evenings. My first attempt was a couple years ago, but somewhere between then and now I've grokked something mysterious and it's been easier to dig into. The last 6 months or so has been something like Common Lisp -> Racket -> Haskell, which may have contributed a little. My long term goal is to write a realtime game server with it, however, I keep flopping back and forth between wrapping my head around the high learning curve and jumping to something more familiar to Get Things Done. It seems the payoff for learning Haskell is intrinsic in and of itself even if I never end up using it, yet I can't help but wonder if I'm spending my time wisely.
