As a relative newbie to Haskell, the linked document contains a lot of information that I had wondered about but hadn't found definitive answers for (eg. Should I be using String at all?) as well as a wealth of information I hadn't even thought to ask yet. I suspect it's going to live in a browser tab next to Hoogle until I get a lot more experience.

Favorite line: "Playing "type-tetris" to convert between Strings explicitly can be frustrating." Such understatement! Converting between string types and dealing with the lack of scoping in records have been two major pinch points for me with Haskell so far.

Most puzzling part: The description of Erlang as an imperative language.

I had a reading group going through this, top to bottom. The chance to stop and discuss things was a big win.
