Comment on Haskell for Beginnersparent

So is it still worth reading LYAH nowadays? Are there any other resources that you could recommend instead of it?

I found the Haskell Wikibook [1] the best at introducing the language with just the right amount of theory at each stage.

I'm unfortunately not an expert in teaching Haskell but I know people often recommend Real World Haskell:

http://book.realworldhaskell.org/

It comes up quite often on r/haskell, for example:

RWH is even more outdated than LYAH, unfortunately. I learned off Haskell Programming from First Principles, but it's since become controversial because of a falling-out between the authors.

Real World Haskell is unfortunately outdated - it predates the 2014 Applicative Monad Proposal.
