Folks, Visi 0.1 is available as an executable for OS X 10.7 ( http://tunaforcats.com/visi_0_1.tar.bz ) The blog post announcement is available at http://blog.goodstuff.im/visi-01-for-os-x/ Visi is written mostly in Haskell (which is totally awesome, btw). I'll be hacking on Visi this weekend at

Howdy, I'm trying to figure out how to get Cabal configured to compile and link my Haskell code such that the code can be part of C and/or Objective-C code such that all the Haskell dependencies are rolled into a .a file and can be linked by a normal C linker (e.g., ld). I've been through http://

Paul, It's a good start, but it's a little too "feature" oriented rather than "benefits" oriented. Features: makes programmers more productive, allows projects to grow larger, allows maintenance teams to pick up the code with less skills xfer, faster time to market and faster and more reliable ch

For what it's worth from a Haskell newbie (and from someone who's been doing FP since November, mainly in Scala.) I really like Haskell's purity and having the clear separation between zero side effects and monads is most excellent. It was quite a brain change to program functionally. It took a

Howdy, I'm considering building a desktop app using Haskell. The primary target for the app is Windows, but if it runs on Linux and Mac (Intel and PPC), that'd be a bonus. I've got a bunch of questions that hopefully folks can answer. Well, before I start, you might well be asking "Gee David, y
