+This note is meant to give people who are familiar with the functional programming language \gls{HASKELL} a consise overview of \gls{CLEAN} language elements and how they differ from \gls{HASKELL}.
+The goal is to support the reader when reading \gls{CLEAN} code.
+Table~\ref{tbl:syn_clean_haskell} shows frequently occuring \gls{CLEAN} language elements on the left side and their \gls{HASKELL} equivalent on the right side.
+Obviously, this summary is not exhaustive.
+Some \gls{CLEAN} language elements that are not easily translatable to \gls{HASKELL} and thus do not occur in the summary follow below.
+We hope you enjoy these notes and that it aids you in reading \gls{CLEAN} programs.
+
 While \gls{CLEAN} and \gls{HASKELL} were both conceived around 1987 and have similar syntax, there are some subtle differences in syntax and functionality.
 This section describes some of the history of \gls{CLEAN} and provides a crash course in \gls{CLEAN} pecularities written for \gls{HASKELL} programmers.
 It is based on the
