You can try the /r/haskell subreddit. They'll have more detailed information there, and on the subreddit you can browse some of the topics and projects currently going on in the haskell world, which may give you a better idea of what haskell is capable of.

Also, if you haven't been getting traction with the #haskell IRC channel, try the #nothaskell channel. The title is a little confusing (it should be called something like #notjusthaskell), but they try to be more helpful there than the regular #haskell generally is.

You may also want to check out this recent post about the quality of various haskell resources: http://bitemyapp.com/posts/2014-12-31-functional-education.h...

I think somewhere where more people interested in teaching Haskell hang out. The haskell-beginners mailing list and the #haskell-beginners channel on Freenode spring to mind, but I am not a member of either so if you take that option please pay attention to whatever the particular ettiquette is there! I'm not personally sure what it is for either of those places.

Haskell Cafe, maybe? https://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
