(#14399719)
Another vote for this. I started with Haskell through RWH and http://haskellbook.com/, and while I could write and understand code, I was really struggling with how to solve problems with Haskell.
Elm was just easier enough (but not too easy) that I could practice much more quickly. It also helped that I was writing a web app I could look at, rather than somewhat more contrived Haskell exercises.
After ~5 full days of Elm in my free time over a month or so, I came back to Haskell and found it much easier to get stuck into solving real problems.
