If you want to make Haskell more widely used, do pick a name for Haskell Prime that starts with an A. I first heard of Haskell when exploring the list of computer languages that Gedit could highlight. Just imagine going through all those A,B,C,D,E,F,G before I came to Haskell. Those programmers who just want to earn their bread will not care if Haskell tutorials are relevant or irrelevant. They would rather ask how much a Haskell job pays and how many positions are there. The Haskell audience is more likely to be people who are either interested in programming languages in general or greatly dissatisfied with those languages they work with. For them, the stranger the better. My brain hurt a lot at first because of the compiler error messages but I liked the challenge.
Trouble is, certain programmers expect to master everything in 20 seconds flat ("Learn C++ in 21 days", anyone?)
