    1. just lower your expectations

      If this paragraph sounds like a foreign language to you, don't worry: noted Haskell wizard Edward Kmett just uses "vim on a macbook with all of about 4 lines of .vimrc" (https://theinitialcommit.com/2017/01/10/edward-kmett/).

      If you haven't used an editor before, you can use Vim (http://www.vim.org/) or Emacs (https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) to get started. Emacs tends to have better integration with Haskell. If you don't like the keyboard commands of Emacs, use Vim.

      Both have tutorials that will get you started in 20 minutes or less, and it's not a life-or-death choice: if you end up on Vim but you want the Haskell integration capabilities of Emacs, you can move later to Spacemacs pretty easily (http://spacemacs.org/). Point being, don't get distracted with the editor. You just need to be comfortable enough editing text to be able to focus on the Haskell.

      dependency (typo)

    3. dependency hell

      "dependency hell" (suggestion: in quotes, even though it was referenced once above)

      because (typo)

    5. You have been warned

      I'd consider adding a link to a resource for people who want to run linux from windows. Non-programmers may not know the best way to do it. (I don't use a Windows machine for programming, or I'd suggest a good resource.)
