[muricula]

I am very much the same way. What I eventually did to get a foothold on the language was power through the first few chapters of 'learn you a haskell', and read 'haskell the hard way' and then sat down and typed out a tutorial implementing the Kaleidoscope teaching language in Haskell [2].

It was slow at first, and there was a lot of "now what's this arrow doing here?", but I would go back to the books when I had questions and eventually things started making sense. That won't work for everyone, but maybe it will work for you too?

The folks in #haskell are generally pretty helpful, and delightfully easy to troll.
