You shouldn't need to install any dependencies beyond `base` for hello world in Haskell: ``` module Main where main :: IO () main = putStrLn "Hello, world!"

You shouldn't need to install any dependencies beyond `base` for hello world in Haskell: ``` module Main where main :: IO () main = putStrLn "Hello, world!" ``` If you mean installing Dhall's dependencies (https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-haskell/blob/master/dhall/dhall.cabal https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-haskell/blob/master/dhal...), those aren't too crazy, but they're definitely not all "beginner level". Template Haskell in particular is quite heavyweight.
