Super, really looking forward to GHC 6.8.1 then. Is it ready for primetime on Windows? Again, someone should really build an IDE around all these goodies, but yes, that is a massive undertaking. Cheers, Peter
The debugger in 6.8.1 can also help to track down loops and deadlocks. Set -fbreak-on-error, run the program using :trace, and hit Control-C when it hangs. Then :history will give you a list of the most recently-visited points in your program, so you can step back and inspect the values of variables.
Cheers, Simon
