I've mostly ever heard scary stories about C (or the "you need to get down to C for performance"). Since KRC was written in 1988 (2nd ed.) - how should I go about learning C? Is there a resource that captures all the gotchas, pitfalls that people have tripped over - over the past 2 decades? Should I even start with KRC or are there better resources to start with? I'm coming from a Ruby/Python background.

I've been going through Learn You a Haskell and Real World Haskell, but I was curious to find out the experience other Haskellers had in their path to learning Haskell? The author of LYAH himself mentioned: "I failed to learn Haskell approximately 2 times before finally grasping it because it all just seemed too weird to me and I didn't get it." So I thought it would be very interesting and helpful to find out others experience and how they eventually learned Haskell.
