[Haskell-beginners] System administration using Haskell

[Patrick Mylund Nielsen]

I ran out of gas 4-5 times myself. Unfortunately I don't have an easy
answer.

I would recommend:

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Simple_unix_tools

https://www.fpcomplete.com/

http://learnyouahaskell.com/

as well as reading actual code from Haskell repositories on GitHub--and,
perhaps above all, to actually write programs--any kind of program. That,
more than anything, eventually makes all the abstract reading fall into
place.
