The "How to learn Haskell proper" section mentions my Haskell Beginners 2022 Course, and I just came here to say that I still maintain this course and help Haskell newcomers every week, so don't hesitate to try it out!

If you're open to video learning resources, I can recommend my Haskell Beginners 2022 course.

Haskell Beginners 2022 — a Haskell course for complete beginners. It doesn't require any prior FP knowledge at all! And it's format is perfectly suitable for Hacktoberfest. Read more information in how to participate instructions.

All together that was a thoughtful and fair write up, thanks for that! I think you are spot on regarding monad transformers. Testing story is very good, the only part that I found harder then I would like it to be is testing IO code - there are some solutions that help but still, it is a bit surprisingly complex. And Template Haskell - it is not as hard as it sounds! Can be quite powerful without super deep knowledge. Btw here is short "cheat sheet" for Template Haskell that I wrote as notes for myself and others in the company: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/template-haskell.md .

I am trying to do something similar with https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook, but much less ambitious - it is mostly there for me and my colleagues, not as a general guide, and is for intermediate level, not beginners, also has no order, just topics. But what I do is create issues with quick drafts and then fill them in when I have time and others can also add to it.

Wrote some popular tutorials on Haskell concepts, like https://wasp-lang.dev/blog/2021/09/01/haskell-forall-tutorial, and also are maintaining haskell handbook (still in infancy): https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook .

I actually wrote a short text about how functions behave as Functor, Applicative or Monad: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/function-as-functor-applicative-monad.md .

Recently I realized I have no idea how should I define version bounds for my library and I got pretty confused before I finally figured out the reasoning behind it (thanks to r/haskell and Adam Bergmark from Stackage), so I thought I would capture that reasoning in a short article: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/dependencies-version-bounds.md .

As a result I decided to write a small article that gives overview of Cabal and Stack are and also compares them, based on what I learned: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/cabal-and-stack.md .
