So now I wonder about Darcs, Cabal, Haddock, Hackage, and all those
other big projects. Do they really have a bazillion people working on
them? Or is it just two blokes in their spare time? (And, more
importantly, how do you find out?)
Seeing as how we don't have a bazillion people using Haskell... ;-)
I don't know - how many packages are on Hackage now? That's a few GB of
source code, right? It didn't write itself. ;-)
My understanding is that Cabal, Haddock, Hackage (as in the web
infrastructure, etc.) and GHC all have a small core team of about 3
developers and a whole bunch of people who have committed patches at one
time or another and might even do so on an irregular basis. Darcs seems
to have a larger team behind it.
OK, wow. Makes you wonder how anything ever gets done at all, eh?
