"Use stack" is one solution but the Haskell Platform is alive and well too. Your distro has an old version of the HP but the current HP has a recent GHC.

Getting back to Haskell after giving up three years ago.

I am running Linux Mint 17.1.

Why is the Haskell Platform for linux (or my distro anyway) stuck at 2013? I see that ghc is several versions newer than what comes with Haskell Platform. That seems like a rather severe lag.

Why is that? Does it matter?
