Tried just this with Haskell, got about halfway through before I started feeling like things were being glossed over.

Mind elaborating where you felt like things were being glossed over?

Is glossing over things necessarily a bad thing? Isn't learnXinY just an introduction site?

Have you tried the howistart[0] for Haskell?

Not saying I don't like the site – it's pretty cool. Just replying to the person talking about trying to pick up unfamiliar languages with it.

I started getting a bit turned around when I got to Guards and Pattern Matching, which are concepts I'm not super familiar with. I wasn't really legitimately trying to learn Haskell, just casually looking into it for funzies.

Not sure, maybe 10-15 minutes?
