"Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours: An Introduction to Haskell through Example", Tang (2007)

I'm well and truly miffed—until this moment, I'd never come across this little jewel of a free ebook.🤦‍♂️

This book teaches practical #Haskell #programming (like monadic parsing) through an implementation of a large subset of R5RS #Scheme interpreter, all in just 138 pp. An experienced FP #programmer, even one who is unfamiliar with Haskell and Scheme (although I’ve not met such a person), can plough through this text, in one sitting.

It's brilliant!

EDIT: Thanks for all the great questions everyone. It is so encouraging for me to see that there is so much interest in this project, it really keeps me motivated to keep working on it.
