I would be more than happy to help. Maybe we need to get a sub-team together and start plowing through this mine-field? -----Original Message----- From: glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org [mailto:glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Simon Marlow Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 10:29 AM To: skaller Cc: glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org; Bulat Ziganshin Subject: Re: 64-bit windows version? skaller wrote:
GHC needs to target *professional windows programmers*. They're going to have VS installed already. Haskell is far too important a language (IMHO) not to have an entry in the commercial programming arena.
Commercial programming is in a bad way! It NEEDS stuff like Haskell available.
BTW: I don't really like Windows .. but I want to see Haskell succeed. Trying to do Haskell on Windows without MSVC++ toolchain is like trying to work on Linux without binutils... :)
This is a fine point, and probably the biggest reason for doing a Windows native port. I'd like to see it happen, but we need help!
