[Haskell-cafe] Why Perl is more learnable than Haskell

There's some things in the works, but for now you can perhaps find
something relevant to what you're trying to do here,

    http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Blog_articles

There's a good breadth of topics covered.

Also, I recommend hanging out on #haskell, you'll just see so many
interesting haskell snippets, have people to help answer questions, and
of course, the lambdabot, that you can't help but learn haskell by
osmosis!

Good luck. Hope to see you online.
