Neat, a way to both learn Haskell and learn some basics of music theory. Fun stuff.

I'd tend to be skeptical that you can learn two difficult things at once. I can see this being useful if you know music theory and want to learn haskell; or, if you know haskell, you want to learn music theory!

What if you're mediocre at both!

Written by Paul Hudak, who recently passed away.

Yes and the book was never "officially" published. It's not clear whether Hudak would have considered it complete. There are two new chapters compared against an earlier announcement: http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/euterpea/haskell-school-of-music/

I'm looking forward to reading it. Thank you Paul.

This seems amazing. It combines three things I've been meaning to learn for ages - Haskell, Music theory and Digital Music. THANK YOU so much for showing me this, OP.

To be honest, you should first know that three things before starting reading this book.
