I second this. I study new programming languages in my free time and install-friction (or whatever its called, if it has a name) is a major factor in whether or not I bother further with the language. A language that comes with its own IDE and textbook is a dream. Haskell is fun, and it did indeed change the way I thought about programs (it was my first functional language), but once you leave something like Learn You a Haskell, it gets hairy fast, and the wiki isn't the best resource. I wouldn't suggest the dragon book until you can put forth all the effort it takes. And as far as that goes, theres a lot of other, some would say better, resources available: http://prog21.dadgum.com/30.html http://prog21.dadgum.com/30.html
