"Scala is a pretty terrible language to be learning it though."

Pretty good course though. If you want something like that, maybe because you find it helpful to have exercises with deadlines and things, then I'd reccomend the course. But if you have some alternatives you wanna recommend, that'd be awesome.

For Haskell, the only similar thing I know of is the Channel 9 stuff with Erik Meijer. And that's cool stuff. But you're much more on your own there than in a Coursera course. So if you want that kind of thing it might not be a good match.
