Haskell isn't easy to learn but it's fun and there are some good resources out there. I must admit I never got far enough with it myself to gain any useful traction on xmonad configuration. It definitely helps to have learned a more conventional language first, which I had - but perhaps not to an advanced enough level.
I recommend this:

xmonad alongside xfce ...
Re: xmonad alongside xfce ...
Mimosa, thanks for your pointer! In the #xmonad channel, i was pointed to this: http://learnyouahaskell.com/
My attitude is really very very limited: To have some criteria on what i'm doing there (using snippets done by knowledged users) ...
And as for previous experiences, i'm somehow limited to basic in the Apple // world
But, OTOH, with the xfce integration i now have working, xmonad is really really an extremely smooth working tiling window manager whcih makes many things easier to less experienced users since you always have access to the xfce shortcuts and menus (not all working, obviously, since the built in wm xfcwm is substituted by xmonad) - at least as a fallback. In the end, at least to some extent, that might be easier than building from the ground an i3 based desktop environment (?)
Moreover, my impression is that xmonad is extremely "snappy".
Cheers.
