I would hesitate to call a 200 line parser and a 50 line lexer an "alternative to Haskell"...

I can understand having trouble learning Haskell. You definitely are not alone. It's difficult to learn and the current educational material is rather lacking. I would strongly recommend Richard Bird's brand new book, Thinking Functionally with Haskell. It's a rewrite of his previous book, Introduction to Functional Programming using Haskell, which is the best book on FP I've ever read.

I also have a list of reading material and there are #haskell and #haskell-beginners channels on irc.freenode.net where people would be happy to help.

Edit: I should have linked to the Kindle version, which is about 50% cheaper.

I shelled out the twenty bucks for Thinking Functionally in Haskell (oh shit, it's gone up to $37). Can't say I'm disappointed. Good combination of exercises and deep thoughts.

Thanks for the recommendation.

In an earlier poll someone suggested Amazon.com: Thinking Functionally with Haskell eBook: Richard Bird: Kindle Store

How do these books compare?
