Each of these things is well-explained by the documentation of the respective libraries. I'm not sure why you feel like you need someone to write you a long-form story in order to learn how to do these things; convince yourself of the merits that others already see.

I disagree. Look at the difference in documentation for Haskells Amazonka versus Clojures Amazonica. There are no simple code examples to get you going. Took me forever as a Haskell newbie to get DynamoDb integration working. In Clojure I just copy an example and play with it

[johnday]

Are the code examples in eg. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/amazonka-1.6.1/docs/Netwo... not sufficient?

The situation seems to have improved a bit since last I looked, but I still think it needs a basic howto about how to do stuff. I know you can figure most things out by looking at the types, but that's exactly where newbies lack experience, and you have search quite a bit for the information here, but thanks for the link. It's definitely better than it was

Yes, there is definitely no single through-line from "i know nothing" to "I can now program a microcontroller in Haskell" or whatever. It's a language which grew out of academia and still has a whiff of self-learning about it.
