I think this is a good idea but we would have to take action now if we want to meet the application deadline for 2015... > Apart from that. Would having haskell in system be such a big deal?

I really do not mind having Haskell in the system set if it solves the problem. I just got the impression that this might have been one of the reasons why there has never been any real work on it. But the main reason obviously is that it requires some effort to get it working. _______________________________________________ Exherbo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.exherbo.org/mailman/listinfo/exherbo-dev
