Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

The linked posts are Bob Ippolito's slides on Haskell for Erlang programmers and his notes on getting started with Haskell tooling. The comments point to other Haskell tooling resources and mention difficulty navigating the slides.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
