<br>Full Announcement on beginners list :<br><a href="http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/beginners/2013-May/012013.html" target="_blank">http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/beginners/2013-May/012013.html</a><br><br>One question that I have been grappling with in this regard:<br>


How to run ghc in lightweight/beginner mode?<br><br>2 examples of what I mean:<br><br>1. gofer used to come with an alternative standard prelude -- &#39;simple.pre&#39;<br>    Using this, gofer would show many of the type-class based errors as simple (non-type-class based) errors.<br>


    This was very useful for us teachers to help noobs start off without intimidating them.<br>2. Racket comes with a couple of levels.  The easier numbers were not completely consistent with scheme semantics, but <br>    was gentle to beginners<br>


<br>Any thoughts/inputs on this will be welcomed<br><br>Rusi<br>
