I've met with Jason and had a good experience, it sounds like a great team. Unfortunately, I was not able to make the timezone difference work.

Learning haskell is like learning to program from scratch. Do you remember the your journey learning to code for the first time? If you're anything like me, that was a lot of banging your head against the wall, trying all sorts of different resources, giving up only to try again a little while later, and then one day everything starts to click. It's all part of the journey.

Haskell is so different from all the languages people tend to learn so it feels much like learning to code all over again. That being said, it's totally worth it! I'm a much better developer (in any language) thanks to all the wonderful things haskell has taught me. I'm much better at designing clean abstractions, I have more tools for solving problems, I have more fun coding, and new challenges don't scare me so much because I know I just need to go through the process and I'll come out the other side even better.

To answer your question, there was no one resource that worked for me. It was just a matter of time and effort going through lots of resources until one day my brain had established new neural connections and things clicked. I read several books and watched lots of people writing haskell and explaining the new (to me) concepts on twitch and youtube.

It must be so rewarding for the engineers on these projects when so many years later their work is validated.

That's if any of them are still alive! This was so long ago that a good proportion may no longer be with us.
