Re: [Haskell-beginners] haskell platform

Welcome Back! Word on the street is to not use Haskell Platform. Make your life easier by using stack. https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/blob/master/doc/GUIDE.md On Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 3:18 PM, DJ wrote:

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?

Best,
