In my prior post I identified three problems with using Haskell at the server: 1. Need for non Unix server support 2. Lack of libaries 3. The lack of a mod_haskell or jserv like interface for Haskell In response to (1), Sarah Thompson emphasized her satisfaction with NT's stability. Regarding st

Hi Sarah, I'd like to respond to your questions about licensing etc., at least as far as Hugs is concerned. Our goal is to make our tools as widely useful as possible, and with that in mind, we have been considering matters of licensing very carefully. The most recent versions of Hugs(*) are di
