You won't be disappointed.  Haskell is an amazingly cool language.

It looks like its supposed to be embedded in LaTeX.  Just remove the
first and last lines since the TeX directives look like lambdas to
Haskell.

\x -> x * x
  <==>
lamba {|x| x*x}

Also, Haskell is very picky about formatting.  Your going to get a
bunch of errors because of line wraps.
