GHC needs to target *professional windows programmers*.
They're going to have VS installed already. Haskell is far
too important a language (IMHO) not to have an entry in
the commercial programming arena.
Commercial programming is in a bad way! It NEEDS stuff like
Haskell available.
BTW: I don't really like Windows .. but I want to see Haskell
succeed. Trying to do Haskell on Windows without MSVC++ toolchain
is like trying to work on Linux without binutils... :)
This is a fine point, and probably the biggest reason for doing a Windows native
port. I'd like to see it happen, but we need help!
Cheers,
Simon
