Thanks for the help, though Vim is already my choice for insanely-powerful text editor with 2k+ page user manual :) I tried emacs, but the dependence on the control key for everything makes it kinda painful on every keyboard I have. I suppose I could probably remap a bunch of keys or something, but Vim seems to work much better in the default configuration. I know this tends to be a big flamewar subject, so it is what it is.

Anyways, your Hello World and runhaskell are much more along the lines of what I'm looking for. Also checking out the other people's suggested Learn you a Haskell.

Just to get the minority opinion out there, I found the style of Learn You a Haskell to be insufferable. Real World Haskell is available free online[1] and has a straightforward tone of voice.

I found Learn You a Haskell to be one of the best programming books I've ever read and no I'm not joking. It's a work of art.


I've just peeked at this book again, and I noticed that they do start with ghci. They're very up-front about its peculiarities, though.


Well, to each their own. I just finished the third chapter last night, and I'm enjoying it so far.


So, write the same thing but in Vim macros...
