I found their functional programming series to be a good way to get acquainted with Haskell -- problems start with basic operations, move on to recursion, lists, other data structures, and so on. As early as the recursion section we see some neat challenges: for example, write a program that prints an ASCII art version of the Serpinski triangle to a given depth.


How big is the tech company? My offer letter was retracted after me having signed it as well. Their reason was that due to all of the people would sit in one single room(it was a startup) adding one more person would breach their fire hazard safety threshold. Point being, if the company is big and even somewhat reputed, an email is not really bad right now. Give it a 2-4 days and if you still dont receive a reply, just go for it
