I think the 99 Haskell problems are mostly a *terrible* source of short
exercises. The problem is that they're exercises translated from Prolog and
Lisp. Some of them need substantial "translation" to even make sense in a
typed language. Others are problems designed to highlight features Haskell
doesn't have. Anyone looking to that list for inspiration will have to do a
*lot* of weeding to get something suitable for beginning students, and will
probably miss out on the opportunity to use more appropriate problems.
