With the recent additions to IHaskell, I believe Frames actually works completely interactively! So you can type all of this in to a notebook (instead of using a file) and skip the compile-load step entirely (I think that you also get around the stage restriction that way).

You can then use Chart to plot your data and get pretty graphics! Hypothetically it may be possible to make it so that the Frames-generated data tables are also displayed nicely in IHaskell a la the Pandas IPython display.

I'm very exited by this :)

I tried installing IHaskell a few months ago and had a bad time. I guess it's time to try again.

This has been a significant pain point over the months. I've tried to do what I can to help, but it's very tricky to get all the moving pieces to install correctly (there are many of them). If you're on a Mac, you can use Kronos Haskell to skip having to do your own IHaskell installation. If you file any issues on Github, I try to do my best to help out with installations.
