Thanks for the advice :)

I haven't programmed in any substantial quantity or quality since 2004, so I'll start with a more approachable language (Python), but I'll definitely keep an open mind.

Do keep an open mind, but bear in mind that Haskell is a different style of programming all together and there are libraries to speed number crunching in Python (NumPy).
