I've been eyeing Haskell for about 8 months, reading books, poking around etc. I've started to feel comfortable enough in the last month to begin a serious(ish) project. For my debut, I'm trying to build a game with HOpenGL. I wouldn't take my 8-month timeline as much of a benchmark, however, since I have not been very deeply involved in studying the language (I have no projects that require day-to-day coding in Haskell).</div><div><br></div><div>Duane Johnson</div><div><a href="http://blog.inquirylabs.com/">http://blog.inquirylabs.com/</a></div><div><br><div><div>On Mar 23, 2009, at 9:13 PM, Rick R wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">I've been messing with Haskell since the Middle of January on evenings and weekends.
