Great article. I do think a better "Getting started with Haskell" guide is Chris Allen's:

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 :)

I think you meant "whetting". :)
I don't know about that. Haskell can be rather sink-or-swim...

;-)

Thanks.. Lol! Maybe I've never read that word so far, and only heard it spoken.
