I think Paul is being unduly modest. I found it very useful when I first learnt Haskell. But I did already know ML, so maybe the "Gentle Introduction" would be harder going for someone who didn't know anything about functional programming.
Mind if I "me too" a bit? I had just read the SICP, and I too found that the Gentle Introduction served well as an introduction to the Haskell syntax. I think it'd be fine if the title were a bit less ambitious - it isn't really aimed at the novice, I think.
It's been a while since I read it tho'
If you start out with zero knowledge in functional programming, as I do, the GITH is really not very helpful. I have found the Clean tutorial (cleanBookI.pdf) a good place to get my feet wet. Now, I gently try to move on. Regards Karl M. Syring PS: are the members of the list expecting to get replies by private mail?
