I see that arrays can be defined in Haskell, but I don't see their use as

I think you do. Most of your utility programs probably fit into the
simple frame of
main = interact $ unlines . map f . lines
for suitable f. Of course, f is hardly ever the factorial function, but

Perhaps Haskell will never lend itself to something like a Perl one-liner,

Haskell useful to the learner as quickly as possible... If such already

somewhere.

I am also coming at haskell from a perl background.
While there is some truth to what you say, I do think haskell can be
used for keeping simple things simple in a way similar to perl.
Though you have to search harder since the documentation / tutorials
seem to be more optimized for making hard

Just read it, it's a very nice post. I'm not afraid of math, but
it's a relief to see some code I can

By using types, you implementation becomes a lot more readable.
Being readable is not enough for being readable aloud.
And I think a lot of people here will disagree with

I must say I agree here. I spent 10 years programming in prolog before
I tried haskell. Most of my problems with haskell are because it has a
