This stub is intended to become a tutorial on reading Haskell. It's aimed at the non-Haskeller who probably doesn't care too much about trying to write code, but wants to understand it.
The tutorial
...needs to be written
-- insert here some horrible (for the non-Haskeller) long example
-- something we can work through slowly (and show why we find it beautiful)
What confuses non-Haskellers
Since this tutorial is not yet written, we encourage you to note here the things which confuse non-Haskellers about the code code.
- layout instead of semicolons?
- super-super-concise stuff (things using liftM and liftM2)
- the difference between and
x <- foo
x = foo
