Although it&rsquo;s not for everyone, I believe its potential is too much in terms purity.</p> <p>The best way for me to learn anything is to just build something and i&rsquo;m quite infatuated with yaml right now, so I suppose i&rsquo;ll build a very basic yaml parser to learn about parsing concepts and how haskell helps with its functional prowess. Since the markup language has just data and no instructions, it&rsquo;s suited for a recursive data definition which Haskell excels in, among other things.</p>
