Haskell for Beginners
I wrote Python for the last 10 years, and I always tend to write code in a “functional” way -
map
,filter
,lambda

Following this warm feeling I decided to try a True functional language.So I read a couple of tutorials online and went through the famous Learn You a Haskell for Great Good ! It was a long and painful journey - which is not over yet. After some retrospection I wanted to share my own introduction to Haskell based on my python experience. What I wished I had learnt first and what I wished I learnt later down the road.
