Sorry to hear of your struggles. There has been a lot of work lately on writing Haskell tutorials but there's still a long way to go, unfortunately, as I discovered when I tried recently to find the collection of sample code fragments on the wiki that I'm sure are around somewhere.

A serious omission in Haskell tutorials is a collection of examples of how to write Haskell solutions for problems that would use arrays in any imperative language. I see that arrays can be defined in Haskell, but I don't see their use as computationally efficient in Haskell. http://RepublicBroadcasting.org - Because You CAN Handle The Truth! http://iceagenow.com - Because Global Warming Is A Scam!
