Hi Hugo,
| I would like to know whether haskell compilers (hugs, hbc and lmlc) are
| fuly y2k compliant. Can anyone fill me in on this?
My understanding is that none of the current Haskell implementors
can afford to answer a question like this because none of us have
the developer, support, or legal resources that would be required
to back it up. It must therefore be left to individuals or groups
of users to determine an appropriate notion of y2k compliance for
their own use, and to take responsibility for determining whether
the appropriate systems meet those standards. We already provide
source and documentation to help with any such assessment, but we
cannot take it any further. Of course, if someone does carry out
a y2k evaluation on one or more Haskell systems, and chooses to
publish their results, then everybody can benefit.
All the best,
Mark
