One of the features of Haskell that I like is that it doesn't require lots of IDE support to write complex programs... the compact syntax and clean separation of concerns that can be achieved make it iasy enough to program using nothing more than a regular text editor, and no long wait for the development environment to start up. I can imagine programming Haskell on a palm-top device.
I do that on my PDA phone sometimes, usually when I'm having a coffee with some buddy discussing this or that algorithm :) Thanks to whoever ported Hugs for Windows CE (I don't remember the url now)
