I’m eager to try Haskell, though I’m pretty intimidated as well. All the installation instructions I get via CoPilot seem to differ from one another. Could someone please list the official step-by-step instructions for installing Haskell on my Windows ARM64 computer? Thanks.

Hi @bobmccrory. I’m happy to know you are interested in trying out Haskell, but, unfortunately, ARM64 Windows is not currently supported by the GHC (nor any other Haskell compiler AFAIK).
However, it is on GHC’s radar: #24603: Support for ARM64 Windows · Issues · Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC · GitLab
It may still be possible to run Haskell on your machine, for instance, if it supports a feature equivalent to macOS’s Rosetta2 — in which case you should be able to get a x64 Windows distribution running, or, for smaller scale programs to get your feet wet, you could use the Haskell playground on the browser (https://play.haskell.org/)

Thanks very much for the quick reply; you’ve saved me a lot of time. I’ll just have to wait, and wallow in Python and Julia until you rescue me.
According to the associated paper, MicroHs compiles via C. So it’s possible, but the paper should probably be read first (e.g. to learn what Haskell features MicroHs supports).
