What operating system are you running on? I paid for and downloaded Haskell For Mac[1] and it's been a great dev experience so far. The IDE is similar to Xcode (I'm an iOS developer) and the REPL is great for trying stuff out.

What sort of apps can you build with Haskell For Mac? The website gives me the impression it’s more akin to Swift Playgrounds than IntelliJ.

You have access to all of Haskell. I built a command line utility that downloads GitHub status from different cryptocurrency repos and ranks how productive each tokens development team is. It's similar CryptoMiso[1] but I have my own formula for figuring out what's valuable.

From the tutorials they give, you can build all types of stuff. It looks like the IDE supports game development as well as some data analytics tools. In Haskell for Mac, the right side is like Swift Playgrounds (REPL) and the left side is like IntelliJ (IDE). It's actually kinda weird but that's how it's setup.
