Okey, this is a question to the parent of the comment I reply to. (I couldn't reply to tel for some reason).

Do you have any example were the documentation available is only scientific or technical papers? I've been learning Haskell for a year now, and even though I've read some papers due to interest I've never felt like it was the only form of documentation.

I'd say that people often reference intermediate Haskellers to a number of major papers like Data Types A La Carte or the Typeclassopedia. The entire set of Functional Pearls are released in academic paper form and provide a really wonderful glimpse into "advanced" Haskell style. You also would probably want to take a look at many of the things that Jeffrey Gibbons or Oleg Kiselyov have written.

I could think of others if I dedicated some time to it, but those come up fairly frequently.
