Re: [Haskell-cafe] haskell platform broken in ubuntu
Oops my bad. The script downloads and installs binary, already compiled ghc. So it certainly does not take 2 hours, i just did it on 2 computers and it takes less than a couple of minutes.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell Platform and Leksah on Windows
While your friend is wrong to blame haskell on his leksah installation problems i think the culprit here is the leksah web site. It misinforms users saying that leksah runs on windows. It's like Blizzard saying Diablo 3 runs on linux because there are reports of linux users successfully running Diablo 3 with wine and some winetricks wodoo. Leksah is a linux program intented to run on linux. You can (in some cases) successfully install and run it on windows, but you would need to go through certain steps installing some unrelated to windows software (gtk etc) I would recommend leksah maintainers to change the language on their website to prevent future problems like this. Currently the only more or less full featured haskell IDEs legitimately running on windows are EclipseFP and perhaps abandoned VS plugin.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] GHC maintenance on Arch
I fail to see how a fringe bleeding edge linux distro undermines a haskell platform. Arch is bleeding edge. Haskell Platform is not. It is logical for a bleeding edge distro to include latest packages. If you want a good support, use distros that provide such support and stability. Last i checked Ubuntu ships haskell platform and not the latest ghc. Having said that, Arch DOES provide easy solution to this problem. Just put IgnorePkg in your pacman.conf. You are complaining on the wrong forum, to the wrong people about the behavior natural for a bleeding edge distro.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] GHC maintenance on Arch
Arch does not keep 2 python packages. There are simply 2 pythons (different programs). And this is true not only for Arch but for practically any other distro.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Requesting Feedback: I Love Haskell, but can't find a place to use it
Besides our web app and batch pdf generation procedures, i use haskell for internal one-off tasks. Often i am being asked to import various data to database from text/excel files. Haskell is an excellent tool for this. On Wednesday, May 30, 2012 5:30:28 PM UTC-7, Jonathan Geddes wrote: I love Haskell. It is my absolute favorite language. But I have a very hard time finding places where I can actually use it! I had hoped that compiling Haskell to C with -fvia-C (or would it be just -C?) would allow Haskell to run in new, uncharted territory such as Android (with NDK), IOS, Google's NaCl, etc. But today I learned that GHC's C backend has been deprecated! Is it more difficult than I am imagining to get Haskell to work in these environments? Is it simply a matter of low interest in this kind of work? Or something more fundamental? Am I missing something? I'm hoping that the Haskell-JavaScript efforts will mature enough to make Haskell viable for client-side web apps. (I think the first sign of this will be a self-hosting Haskell-JavaScript compiler.) I use Haskell for Server-Side code with various web frameworks, but over the years more and more of the app logic is moved into client-side JavaScript, leaving the server-side code as little more than a simple validation and security layer over the database and other services. Haskell doesn't have any trouble with this, of course, but it's not exactly a role where it can shine. (Of course this is not true of ALL server-side code, just the kind of apps I have been writing.) So anyway I'd like to request feedback: where can I use Haskell besides simple CLI utilities, dull server code, or project Euler problems? Even if it's just to contribute to getting Haskell in the environments mentioned above, any feedback is welcome!

No reasons at all. It's just historically been been written in java. (about 10 years ago) Most of the web site can be done in haskell. Some functionality though requires java (pdf library). If haskell has pdf library with similar functionality then al of it can be done in haskell. Going forward we intend to use haskell where it is possible and fall back to clojure/ java only when no suited library exists for haskell.

Andrew, you are being non constructive. You are saying We should. Who we, Andrew ? Who are you referring to ? The developers who created those six different unicode libraries are not united under any umbrella you can call we. The reason those six libraries existis is NOT because some mysterious secret we commitee decided to have six incompatible libraries. And the maintainers of hackage has better things to do than to police and make arbitrary decisions what should or should not be allowed to hackage. Also hackage is NOT a standard library, just like SourceForge or Github is not a standard library. It's just a hosting for haskell libraries. If you want someone tell you what to use, there's an effort in that direction: haskell platform. And their attitue is constructive. They don't demand that we (whoever that is) do or do not do something. They compile their own set of libraries and announce about their existence. Go lobby them to include one blessed unicode library.
