Gee, thanks everyone for the feedback. Stack will do for now, I didn't
realise I can run ghci from outside a project directory using stack exec
ghci. The platform is quite large, and I'm on a costly metered network
connection.
Cheers,
Hon

You can also just install the Haskell Platform on Windows. It works just fine! And it comes with a prebuilt network package too.
These days, it also comes with MSYS2. However, it does not yet come with a “path switcher” script as MinGHC did. So if you want to _reinstall_ network or the like, you need to first add the appropriate msys directories to your path for the duration of the build.
These days, as far as I’m concerned, the only obstacle to using the platform on windows is if you _really_ don’t want any platform packages installed in your global package repo. And with the next release of the platform, that won’t be an issue either...
Cheers, Gershom

There is. Just manually install MSYS2, ghc, and cabal. Set up the paths and that's it. Stack does all that for you.

There is no way to use haskell on Windows without stack?

How can I install just ghc on Windows? Especially with regards to the network package? Before this I used minghc, but the github page says its now dead.
