But we have what we have, and it certainly isn't *more* confusing than F# or Clean. If this is the worst problem beginners have, Haskell must be in wonderful shape.

This isn't supposed to be a contest of any sort, in my mind, but rather an attempt to improve things, in absolute terms. The way you dissected the type/newtype/data trinity.. I must say I like it best. The distinction between 'type' and 'newtype' really ought to be underscored, and in this context 'data' is what stands out, indeed. -- с уважениeм / respectfully, Косырев Серёга -- “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
