Starting Project Euler in Haskell gave me those "hey, I remember a code example that would help me here" moments, which lead me to looking up half-remembered things like mapping over lists and really seeing the beauty of guards and types in function signatures. Back in university I know the exercises were where my real learning took place, not in reading the textbook or listening to the lectures. And it's the same with Haskell.
Good luck,

So a week into Haskell, I still seem to be not “getting” it which is kind of weird in my case. I came in with knowledge of a lot of functional ideas from using them in Javascript and Python. Or at least I thought I knew them.
5 chapters into "Learn You a Haskell", I admit it's not really sinking in for me even after typing in and running all the examples. I acknowledge that I don't know jack. Any ideas or exercises that might help me along?
