And as I had pointed out before, that tutorial is not at all the brightest piece of introductory documentation when you compare it to certain printed texts for Haskell programming language.
That comparison is not valid. In its introduction, the tutorial to which you refer notes that Our goal is to provide a gentle introduction to Haskell for someone who has experience with at least one other language, preferably a functional language ... http://www.haskell.org/tutorial/ The tutorial link in http://www.haskell.org/bookshelf/ bears this caution: The title is a bit misleading. Some knowledge of another functional programming language is expected. So the reader is adequately warned that this is not an introduction to functional programming. One who stumbles into a tutorial for which he is not yet ready does himself no credit by blaming the tutorial. --HR ------------------------------------------------------------------ Hamilton Richards Department of Computer Sciences Senior Lecturer Mail Code C0500 512-471-9525 The University of Texas at Austin Taylor Hall 5.138 Austin, Texas 78712-1188 ham@cs.utexas.edu hrichrds@swbell.net ------------------------------------------------------------------
