I've been messing with Haskell since the Middle of January on evenings and
weekends. Just now I'm getting to the point where I can construct nontrivial
programs with little help from #haskell.
It is by no means my most proficient language, I've been coding C++ and
other languages for over 10
I second that! Haskell is a very fun and engaging language (with its
accompanying corpus of theorems, and its great community)...
My timing is a little bit longer than Rick's... I've been eyeing
Haskell for about 8 months, reading books, poking around etc. I've
started to feel

Hello,
I am exploring the possibility of learning Haskell. I am not a
professional programmer, nor do I have a CS or Math degree.
I do play and program with Python, Smalltalk (Squeak), Javascript,

I think you should take a look at some of the tutorial material you can

For some reason there seems to be an affinity between Python and Haskell.
Not clear to me why, since on the surface there is little similarity of
syntax.
