Great article. I do think a better "Getting started with Haskell" guide is Chris Allen's: https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell OP's article is still a great way of wetting appetite, and sharing insights; but moving on from there is better facilitated by Chris Allen's recommendations. There is also the IDE issue; FPComplete has a web-based IDE that is good for beginners, and it is possible to setup Emacs to be a very helpful IDE (though this is by no means simple). With Haskell an IDE is really helpful: see the errors as you type, and resolving them before running into a wall of compile errors. Anyway: go Haskell. I'm looking forward to a less buggy future :)
