Haskell syntax is actually pretty straightforward, once you know what you're looking at. It's difficult at first blush because of the weird infix operator symbols ($, ., <> etc.) but once you get used to them there's nothing too scary.

That being said, why not post any problems you have here? I'm sure plenty of people would be happy to help explain Haskell's syntax, and no doubt more people than just you would benefit from that.

Parent is possibly referring to the blog's horrendous color scheme, not Haskell as a language.
