While an incredibly small font is a clever option, a more serious
suggestion may be as follows.
3-4 slides imply 3-4 topics, so the question is what are the 3-4 biggest
topics in haskell? I would think they would be:
* Purity/Referential Transparency
* Lazy Evaluation
* Strong Typing + Type Classes
* Monads
Assuming you have, say, 10-15 minutes for the talk, and the people there
are versed with imperative programming and maybe have some experience in
functional programming, you can probably jump over each of those slides
in about a minute, just enough to touch the subject.
I also assume that you don't need to fit the whole presentation in 3-4
slides, if you do, then .... yah.

Hi all,
I'm giving a presentation to an IEEE group on Embedded DSL's and
Haskell at the end of June. I need a 3 to 4 slide introduction to
Haskell. What suggestions does the community have? Is such a short
intro possible?
It just needs to introduce the basics so I can show some code
without alienating the audience. I'm hoping some one else has
attempted this before, but if not, some boiler plate slides could
be useful for every one!
