[Haskell-cafe] Teaching FP with Haskell

[Rustom Mody]

We are offering a MOOC on haskell :
https://moocfellowship.org/submissions/the-dance-of-functional-programming-languaging-with-haskell-and-python

Full Announcement on beginners list :

One question that I have been grappling with in this regard:
How to run ghc in lightweight/beginner mode?

2 examples of what I mean:

1. gofer used to come with an alternative standard prelude -- 'simple.pre'
    Using this, gofer would show many of the type-class based errors as
simple (non-type-class based) errors.
    This was very useful for us teachers to help noobs start off without
intimidating them.
2. Racket comes with a couple of levels.  The easier numbers were not
completely consistent with scheme semantics, but
    was gentle to beginners

Any thoughts/inputs on this will be welcomed
