I'm super excited to submit this. Hacker News was really open to messing with Haskell when I announced “Try Haskell” (http://tryhaskell.org/) a while back. Loads of people said, “yeah, great, but now what?” This is a nice next step.

I'd recommend:

1. Open Learn You a Haskell in a window: http://learnyouahaskell.com/

2. Open up anything that takes your fancy from the tutorials: https://www.fpcomplete.com/school/starting-with-haskell (they have interactive snippets)

3. Open up the IDE in another window.

Start learning and playing!

It's a full IDE with sweet Haskell-specific features like built-in Hoogle and type information of any sub-expression. This is SOOO nice for learning.

Similar to Github, for extra features there's a 9.99/mo upgrade. And coming next month is external editor support for the hardcore Emacs/Vim/Sublime. I work at FP Complete, so if you have questions, feel free.
