> Also checking out the other people's suggested Learn you a Haskell.

Just to get the minority opinion out there, I found the style of Learn You a Haskell to be insufferable. Real World Haskell is available free online[1] and has a straightforward tone of voice.

I found Learn You a Haskell to be one of the best programming books I've ever read and no I'm not joking. It's a work of art.


I've just peeked at this book again, and I noticed that they do start with ghci. They're very up-front about its peculiarities, though.


Well, to each their own. I just finished the third chapter last night, and I'm enjoying it so far.
