No, but if well done, it could be enough for me to say, "I get why this is worth pursuing further." I've had the same experience as the person above: Haskell tutorials seem to say, "Look what I can do!" and not, "See how you can do this?"

Well, after a few tutorials you should have noticed that it's a high-level language with clean syntax and a compiler that produces relatively fast binaries. That's a start. What else were you expecting?

Something that shows me how this is worth spending the time learning, when I could just as easily use another high-level language with clean syntax and a compiler that produces relatively fast binaries - but that are not functional - minus the learning curve.

Well shit. I guess teaching languages designed by academicians aren't for you. Same goes for blog posts written by random amateurs on the internet. A whole three tutorials, too! You should ask for a refund.
Perhaps a Haskell book with a project or two would be a better alternative?
