darcs isn't what I'd call "small", but it is a good example of what
you can accomplish in Haskell.

I was in the same position a couple of months ago as you are now.  I
finally broke down and bought a book.  The one I got is "Haskell: The
Craft of Functional Programming", which turned out to be enough to get
started with.  In particular, I was looking for a book that also
addressed functional programming, since I was rusty on that to the
point of ignorance.

What the book didn't help me with, much, is IO.  However, the web was
sufficient to get me over that hurdle.

Good luck!  Haskell is a really nice language.
