Haskell: Can I?

A note for those who not only heard everything about Haskell, but also became interested in it ...

Here are some links for those who want to understand what is so “awesome” in this programming language, and where to start:

• Video from OSCON 2007: A taste of Haskell (Simon Peyton-Jones): Part 1 , Part 2
  (A lot of traffic)
• Description of the language and standard library in Russian
• Yet Another Haskell Tutorial
• Meta-tutorial
• Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours

In general, all of the above links, except for one (guess which one) presuppose the presence of very good technical English.
Perhaps this information may not seem very useful to you, but at least it will allow you to decide on your personal attitude to this programming language.
