[Haskell-cafe] Has anybody translated Douglas Hofstadter's
Scientific American articles introducting Scheme to a general
audience into Haskell?

There is an interesting, if somewhat dated, suggestion on "Lambda the
Ultimate" (see http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1748) that "someone
translate Doug Hofstadter's Scientific American columns introducing
Scheme to a general audience into Haskell."
(I came across this link while adding full titles and links to the
HaskellWiki "Books and tutorials" page (see
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Books_and_tutorials), where I clicked
on the link to "Tutorials" (see
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Tutorials), which contained a link to
a "Haskell vs. Scheme" (see http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/tb/nq1k)
article, which described the post containing the suggestion.)
According to a comment by Ehud Lamm (see
http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1748#comment-21292) on the above
post, the columns are in Hoftstadter's book _Metamagical Themas:
Questing For The Essence Of Mind And Pattern_ [1] (see
http://www.amazon.com/Metamagical-Themas-Questing-Essence-Pattern/dp/0465045669).
Has anybody translated Hofstadter's articles from Scheme into Haskell?
