Haskell is a programming language.  More specifically, it is a
functional programming language.  Even more specifically, it is a
pure, strongly-typed, lazy, functional language.

Hugs is a Haskell interpreter, itself written in C.  It will run on
most any system that has a decent C compiler.  There are many other
implementations of Haskell, some of them more sophisticated that Hugs,
but Hugs is simple to set up and probably the best place to start.

You write a program in Haskell, feed it to Hugs, and watch it run.
Pretty simple, eh?

But you'll need much more information than this.  Try:

 http://www.haskell.org

You'll find lots of tutorials and Haskell, plus the links to d/l Hugs.
