Very nice - thanks! I haven't taught this course in a long time, so will have to see how much time I have to get involved. Good start - Thanks.

I've implemented a few algorithms from this book by request of some Haskellers students during my 2017 AI course :) https://folivetti.github.io/courses/IA/Pratica/Busca/8Queens.hs https://folivetti.github.io/courses/IA/Pratica/Busca/8Puzzle.hs https://folivetti.github.io/courses/IA/Pratica/MonteCarlo/MCTS.hs https://folivetti.github.io/courses/IA/Pratica/mdp/Agent.hs https://folivetti.github.io/courses/IA/Pratica/mdp/mdp.hs I wasn't very experienced with Haskell by then, so those can be certainly improved. I was planning to revisit those codes and create a repo to port the codes at http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/python/readme.html in my free time. But this free time never happened :( I'll probably have some spare time in the following weeks, if you want to, we can collaborate on this.

I've often thought that a book and approach like the MIT AI book by Norvig ("Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach" - http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/) Would be a great way to showcase Haskell and its expressive clarity.

It was thus interesting to find this article " Python for Lisp Programmers" (https://norvig.com/python-lisp.html) and https://github.com/aimacode, were the book has been translated into many other languages - but not Haskell (yet?).

Haskell is such a great way to teach many programming concepts and applications in a very clean manner, and some of the books used to demonstrate and showcase other languages would be quite nice to have more common course books with Haskell!

In a more playful flavor; "Impractical Python Projects" - again all things that map nicely into some simple Haskell examples. ( https://nostarch.com/impracticalpythonprojects ) "Python is a programming language, but it is also fun to play with. This book recognises that."

LYAH & RWH are really great - but some books with more application oriented approaches can be good starters and inroads for introductions to Haskell.
