My impressions so far, to whom may concern:

I read a bit of http://haskell.org/ and from 
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/index.html also downloaded and installed GHC 
(400+ MB installed which I find great) but.... no IDE, to make libraries 
and .dll u need this thing (can't remember the name) that need this 
other thing (Cywin) to emulate a Linux enviroment and get compiled so it 
can be used and the 'darcs' thing to do a kind of repository and the 
other thing to do documentation...

I think all of them are goo ideas, what I don't like it is the PIA of 
learn how to compile them, compile them, learn how to use it SEPARATELY 
and finally start to gather all the DISPERSE tutorials and find what 
BROKEN links doesn't show to stat learning the language. Which is not as 
easy to read for non-experienced programmers, even the intro text said 
it is, I understood better Rubi and Python (a Fibonacci example), wtf! 
I'm not saying is hard but is not simple nor obvious, is something in 
the middle I think. No doubt it's what I'm looking for in a language, 
simple yet powerfull, but u need to go deep into it to learn how to make 
fast and/or small .exe files that can compete with C.

In short: is a PIA that is worth suffering it, so I'm not going to quit, 
I'm going to continue reading and searching and downloading and 
searching some more other peaces as I need them along. I see this 
project has come a long way for a freeware, powerful, very smart, 
programming language but ir really needs to put things together (IDE, 
GHC, the .dll/libraries making thing, doc making thing and darcs in a 
funtional package ALREADY COMPILED) and have better support (too much 
disperse info and broken links).

Any advise would be VERY WELCOME, thx for ur time.
