A community-curated learning path for Haskell, featuring free resources and structured guidance from experienced practitioners.
LearnHaskell is a community-driven guide that provides a structured, recommended path for learning the Haskell programming language. It curates free educational resources like the cis1940 course and an FP course, offering a step-by-step approach to help developers build proficiency in functional programming. The project also includes community support channels and multi-language translations to make learning accessible.
Developers and programmers who want to learn Haskell effectively, especially those seeking a clear, free, and community-vetted learning path. It's suitable for both experienced programmers transitioning to functional programming and less experienced learners who start with foundational materials.
It offers a time-tested, opinionated sequence of resources that avoids common pitfalls, such as recommending Stack over Haskell Platform. The guide is maintained by experienced Haskell practitioners, including a Haskell Book author, ensuring high-quality, practical advice tailored to real learning challenges.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Recommends a specific sequence starting with cis1940 and FP course, based on proven teaching methods that build a solid foundation through exercises.
Provides direct links to IRC (#haskell-beginners) and mailing lists for real-time help, fostering collaborative learning and quick problem-solving.
Offers translated guides in over 15 languages, making Haskell learning more inclusive for non-English speakers globally.
Advocates for Stack over Haskell Platform to avoid installation pitfalls, with clear warnings and video tutorials for setup.
Relies heavily on third-party courses like cis1940 that may become outdated or inaccessible, with no guarantees of maintenance or updates.
No built-in coding exercises or automated feedback; learners must self-manage practice using external resources, requiring high motivation.
The core path assumes some programming experience, as cis1940 is not recommended for inexperienced programmers, leaving gaps for absolute beginners.
