He was not entirely happy with that resource:

"So I read a couple of tutorials online and went through the famous Learn You a Haskell for Great Good ! It was a long and painful journey - which is not over yet. After some retrospection I wanted to share my own introduction to Haskell based on my python experience. What I wished I had learnt first and what I wished I learnt later down the road."

That book was heavy on syntax right off the bat, and light on underlying theory, which is why I ended up bailing. The blog is even more extreme, and gives no explanation as to why a beginner should even bother. Might as well read the official Haskell documentation instead.

I personally found LYAH to be an excellent resource. One of the best programming books I've ever come across
