Hi,
Hugs Interpreter only Suitable for learning. You'll need GHC for serious work.
This is putting Hugs down quite a bit. I personally prefer Hugs, and use it for serious work (including developing a Haskell compiler, and 4 years of academic study and counting). About the only thing it doesn't do is produce standalone binaries. I would have actually said Hugs, and especially the Windows front end WinHugs was a lot more suitable for beginners than GHC, but the wiki page very much gives the other impression. Thanks Neil
