[Haskell-cafe] Learning Haskell

[Duane Johnson]

I second that!  Haskell is a very fun and engaging language (with its  
accompanying corpus of theorems, and its great community)...

My timing is a little bit longer than Rick's... I've been eyeing  
Haskell for about 8 months, reading books, poking around etc.  I've  
started to feel comfortable enough in the last month to begin a  
serious(ish) project.  For my debut, I'm trying to build a game with  
HOpenGL.  I wouldn't take my 8-month timeline as much of a benchmark,  
however, since I have not been very deeply involved in studying the  
language (I have no projects that require day-to-day coding in Haskell).
