I hear Haskell is especially "math-y" (which sounds great to me). Can you suggest any resources for learning Haskell?

Any resource should be fine, it depends on what kind you prefer. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33264/book-recommendation...

I like "A Gentle Introduction to Haskell," which is not gentle at all.

I should've searched SO for this question. Thanks!

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Tutorials

Also, Simon Thompson's book should be updated in October, and should be good
