I do not have a strong math background. Is lack of strong math background a major hindrance to learning Haskell? While it's certainly helpful to have some basic knowledge of lambda calculus, type theory, etc. most concepts in Haskell can be understood intuitively -

Also, I understand Haskell's benefits for programming larger projects. But how does it do on programming in the small? ie: using Haskell where I might have used Python for scripting? Small tasks can be solved quite efficiently in Haskell compared to most other languages. This is a good place to start since you don't need to know about advanced concepts (Monads). See the tutorials [1] or the haskell wiki [2] for examples.
