@JimmyHoffa What would you recommend as a starter Haskell resource? No idea if I'd use it, but it's always good to learn new ways of thinking about problems.

@PhilLello learnyouahaskell.com is a pretty good tutorial

"LYAH" (Learn you a haskell) is one of the most common - here online free, it worked for me but I've heard a lot of reports of people finding it worked less for them than "RWH" (Real World Haskell) here online free - though for a quick jump to get a vague idea before going at either of those which are rather larger - the School Of Haskell is great because it's
more tutorial oriented and - best of all - has an interactive Haskell REPL built right into the tutorials so you can run each example, edit them and run them again to see how they change
@psr found SoH the right way for him to enter formal negotiations with Haskell. He has MUMPS though so he's an outlier basically by definition.
plus FPComplete (which created and runs School of Haskell) is a great online Haskell IDE for fiddling about if you want to mess with it before committing to installing (which is very easy actually) and learning it more in depth which LYAH and RWH are more inclined towards
