Once I didn't get any sign of being drunk regardless of the drinks being >50% and 70% vol. and higher, even though we danced, made push-up and have had fun on a trampoline. To this day I still don't understand how not only I, but also the friends who drank the same didn't get drunk. There must have been a secret ingredient in that moonshine, because I didn't eat anything before that.

again the parents, hmm. But what did that call cost?

wow, and I thought that only happened to me!
Some weird american voice was on the other side and it sounded a bit like a comedy show, but interestingly the voice was not made out of pieces and put together into sentences, but actually coherent and responsive to my questions. Living in Germany, this was actually weird enough to think that someone is in control of our cell-phones.
But why did we both have the caller-id of our mom's?

Looks really good, but as others noted, the examples should really work `as is` within the REPL. Also I think wikipedia has better example code. Everybody knows fibonacci and can compare it.
Please add a nice Haskell facts and features tab, like: Appeared in 1990; 24 years ago More facts and features on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haskell_(programming_language)

on the same boat.. but have given up on using Chrome for bookmarks. It's too slow on Linux when you've more than 50 tabs.
Firefox loads under a minute with 510 tabs from various tab-groups. (I use a tab-group for each group and field of study and yes I use most tabs actually)
The search in the sidebar is so enormously useful, it helps me to find ANY bookmark made by hitting CTRL+b or middle-click (two-finger tap here). I heavily use tags, which is really making the search better, but I wish these tags could be automatically generated by an algorithm.
1. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/flat-bookmarks-h... (this is what opens up a better sidebar)
2. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/bookmark-rater/ (rating is really useful sometimes)
3. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/enhanced-middle-... (I use that to open the sidebar)
4. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookma... (autosort "heap, stack and memory" of bookmarks. I don't sort the the toolbar)
Optional:
i) https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/faviconreloader (In case you want icons for old bookmarks)
ii) https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/tabgroups-menu/ (helpful to quickly switch, rename and reorder tab-groups, because zooming-in-out sucks)
iii) https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/unloadtab/ (worried about loading >500 tabs at once? set it to load only tabs you clicked and unload tabs oder n)

2 Weeks is what it usually takes to catch-up with all new libraries in all the languages you care about. Not more. Easy as googling it and checking github explore, then trying each one out. Simple as that. Do that every 6months and you're set. What could go wrong? :)
