Re: GHC 6.8.1 is impressive!

I'd like to third that. The main improvement for GF is that the build is 5 times faster, 3 minutes with 6.8.1 instead of 15 minutes with 6.6.1, using -O2 with both. The compiled program runs 13% faster with 6.8.1. Code: http://www.cs.chalmers.se/Cs/Research/Language-technology/darcs/ GF/

Hi Frederik, I agree with your comments about the headaches of Haskell library stability. I made the change because it seemed like the old library had no users. I should put my money where my mouth is, Network.CGI.Compat is now back in the cgi package. /Bjorn On Jan 22, 2008, at 18:28 ,

GADTs and fundeps don't seem to interact in the way that I (perhaps naively) expect. I expected that for each case, the type variables would be instantiated according to the type of the constructors, and then the fundep would be used to figure out the result type. This does not seem to work, or am
