You might try
import Data.Maybe (catMaybes, listToMaybe)
fmap (listToMaybe . catMaybes) . sequence $ [tryA, tryA', tryA'']
listToMaybe is another word for safeHead or headMay, ie head that returns a
maybe if the list is empty.
or alternatively
fmap (maybe defaultA id . listToMaybe . catMaybes) . sequence $ [tryA,
tryA', tryA'']
to return a default value if you fail to get A.

I'm also following along with that class. Maybe a study group (skype/g+
hangout) based on the slides might be a worthwhile thing to do.
Otherwise I'm interested.

Hi,
These slides are very basic, but what approach should we take for
group study? Maybe we should create own slides? Every participant can
create a short presentation about something. We can make a list of
topics. IMHO, teaching is the best way to understund a topic. Can
anybody suggest different approach?

I've sent individual responses to everyone who responded. I'm fine with
meeting individually if someone prefers that, and I'm also fine with a
group hangout. I'm ready to start tomorrow through whichever communication
channel

I still find I'm learning a lot from the questions posed in the
introduction lecture. It is turning into a broad exploration of
fundamentals, and I suspect the structure is well planned. Will see.
