On: Write yourself a Scheme in 48 hours: A Haskell Tut...

Thanks for writing it. It was one of the things that helped me makes some sense of Haskell.

So much of what I had been seeing was all heavy math and abstractions, and while that's interesting it never gave me a foothold for actually using it.

Seeing something much more tangible made a big difference.

I have the same feeling (and appreciation)– it inspired me to try learning both Haskell and Scheme. Still not sure if I'm an idiot or just insatiable.

I gotta agree. It helps that Parsec is so awesome and Scheme so straightforward--very little cruft to cover.
