About the line length needed for Haskell programs, there was a discussion
about this some time ago, that could be regarded as a tutorial for
reducing indentation:
    http://haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-July/028787.html

As for the idle core you mention: I keep one core fully occupied with a
program that searches for a cure against cancer, see:
    http://www.computeagainstcancer.org/

The example you gave for the use of "map" can be simplified:
    map func (take (10 [0..]))  -- should actually be: map func (take 10
[0..])
->
    map func [0..9]
