What people on Hacker News said
With this book, we want to show you how to use functional programming and Haskell to solve realistic problems.
Completely changed the way I write code, in a way that books that more directly advocate readability and testability failed to.
It does a fantastic job of blowing your mind while simultaneously showing you how to apply Haskell to real-world problems.
definitely a lot less hand-holding than learnyouahaskell, but they complement each other pretty well.
