I have tried several times to learn Haskell. The only resource that actually worked for me was Philipp Hagenlocher's "Haskell for Imperative Programmers".

It is incredible. He does an amazing job of starting from the basics and then diving deep. After going through the series I had a solid enough grasp on the language to use it for practical things.

I'm currently reading Graham Hutton's "Programming in Haskell" (2nd), which is also another great resource. He also has YouTube videos [1] for chapters in the book. Philipp's videos are great too, which I also watch after finishing a book chapter.

Going to give this a try later. I've had the same experience, and every time hit a point of going "I'm X levels deep in syntax I don't understand and can't see a benefit in sight..."
