Real World Haskell, the book that everybody in the Haskell community has 
been talking about for months, is finally entering the final stages of 
production.

This is Haskell's "One Ring to Rule Them All" master tutorial book. It's 
written by the luminaries of the scene, and it's goal is supposedly to 
show you how to "solve real-world problems using Haskell". (Apparently 
many people still think that Haskell is an academian's language that has 
no place in the "real world".)

The full source text of the book is viewable from the link above. I 
haven't read it yet, but I'm curios to see if it really succeeds in its 
ambitious goals. I personally think Haskell is a fantastic language, but 
I'm really not sure it's "ready" for the real world yet. It's still 
rather lacking in libraries and documentation...

If you have a lifetime or two to spare, maybe you could have a read 
though the opening pages and laugh.
