Thanks Chris, that is interesting.

BTW, I am a happy customer of FP Complete. I have bought four Haskell books in the past, but Haskell has never really clicked for me (but studying Haskell has helped using Clojure). Whenever I get some free time I use your IDE and online lessons. My hope is that by the time my one year subscription is up, that I will be comfortable sometimes using Haskell instead of Clojure or Java on large projects.

Hi, Mark. I'm curious at what point Haskell lost you, if you can identify that. I'm asking, because I'm also learning Haskell at the moment, but because I'm also interested in teaching and I'm thinking about how certain topics could be taught better.

The "problem" I have had has been not setting aside enough time to use Haskell exclusively for a while. I need to do one reasonably large project in Haskell, which is a problem in setting aside the time.

I have the same problem with Agda and Idris. ;-)
