I have selected Haskell as the language for the implementation
of my thesis stuff. This is because, apart being purely
functional, Haskell as just the right stuff for my purposes
(non-strict semantics, list comprehension, type classes, ADTs,
and even functional I/O).

However, I have run into rough weather in using (learning) Haskell.
Apparently no user guide exists, nor any kind of language tutorial. I
have been trying to learn the language using the language specification B-<
:-( given in the Haskell Language Report generated by the Yale Haskell
Group. The interpreter seems to fault almost whatever I say. In
particular I am having problems defining user defined abstract data
types and classes.

Is there a compassionate soul out there knowledgeable in the ways of Haskell
who can help me out of my problems *once in a while* (note the emphasis) ?
What we have conceptually defined is exciting and its frustrating not to
be able to see it working because there exists no language tutorial for Haskell.

I shall be eternally obliged to anyone who can and is willing to help.

<sniff><sniff> Will I ever graduate ?
