"Haskell", stress on the first syllable; the first syllable is like the word "has" and the second syllable is pronounced with a schwa where the "e" is written.

Sometimes you will hear people stress the second syllable, but that is not Preferred.

"Hass" (like in "hassle") "kell" (to rhyme with "fell")

That is not correct. The second syllable does not rhyme with "fell". In fact, the correct pronunciation sounds like "hassle" with a 'k' inserted between the two syllables of that word. (And when I say it's not correct, I'm comparing to the speech of a few People Who Should Know.)
