It really shouldn't be that high. If you are having serious problems may I recommend taking a pit stop in the land of Lisp or Scheme? Lisp/Scheme has a simpler syntax and lacks the type system that simultaneously makes Haskell more powerful and more complex to work with, and lets you just focus on learning some of the semantics (vocabulary) and paradigms (methods of doing things, modes of operation, thought patterns, tools, tips and tricks)... I don't write Haskell much yet, but I do see that my experience with Common Lisp (and to a lesser extent Python) generally give me a bit more insight into the language when I try to read it than I got from just trying to read Haskell-specific tutorials... -- --Max Battcher-- http://www.worldmaker.net/ _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
