On: The Evolution of a Haskell Programmer (2001)

[tome]

I'm not sure which tutorials you're thinking of. Not this one I guess

https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_5_steps#Write_your_first...

or this one

https://riptutorial.com/haskell/example/898/hello--world-

Can you link to the one that has 100 pages before getting to “hello world”?

[bazoom42 → tome]

Learn you a Haskell gets to Hello World at page 128.

[tome → bazoom42]

Yeah, but that's not because the first 127 pages are "dense type theory". It's because that's the first time it teaches about compiled programs rather than the REPL. Besides, "Hello world" also appears on page 14.
