I spent a little time with Haskell and gave up because progress was slow. Later I picked up Ocaml and found many of the concepts to be similar but had a much easier time making progress. Having used Ocaml to familiarize myself with strongly typed FP, I think it wouldn't be so hard now to go back to Haskell and have more success.
If you decide to give it a try, I highly recommend Real World Ocaml [1] as a starting point, especially the installation instructions that help you get up and running with a sane toolchain right away [2].

- sramsay 12y agoThis sounds great. I've starting looking at the CIS 194 lectures, though, and so far not a single example works in ghci. Googling around indicates that you need to use 'let' or define things in a module and load them . . . Is this tutorial already out of date?
