[linux, ghci 6.4.3.20060820, hugs May 2006] I have just started learning Haskell. I have hugs and ghci under linux, and I'm going through the Gentle Introduction to Haskell<http://www.haskell.org/tutorial>, so far through section 4, "case expressions and pattern matching". I'm a python programmer, with background in maclisp, scheme, T, C, C++, and a little J.
I'm confused about what sort of things I can type at the interpreter prompt, and what things have to be loaded as a module. I keep trying to treat the prompt like a lisp or python REPL, which is obviously wrong. Can someone set me straight? Is there another tutorial that might be more appropriate for me? I am finding haskell quite appealing. I hope to start writing real (if small) applications to do some data analysis from our Postgres DB. Any hints? --George Young -- "Are the gods not just?"
