About the book
The author's own drawings, pop culture references and useful example code carry Miran Lipovača's illustrated guide to Haskell, a complex functional language. Its early material on syntax, recursion, types and type classes leads into applicative functors, monads and zippers. Along the way it covers purely functional techniques that sidestep side effects, the use of Haskell's laziness to work with infinite sets of data, building custom types, type classes and modules, and the language's input and output system. The tone stays humorous throughout, with imaginative and occasionally absurd examples.
Santiago Basulto, co-founder of rmotr.com, counts it among books he loves for the ideas behind a language he does not use day to day.

I love the following books, even though I don’t code in these languages in a daily basis. It’s still interesting to learn the concepts behind them
- Programming in Scala (Odersky)
- Learn You a Haskell for Great Good
