Hi Gwern,

Please update: "haskell-src-exts -> haskell-src" **Unknown**

This project was an unqualified success.  haskell-src-exts is now one of the most commonly used Haskell libraries, achieved the goals in the project proposal, and is an essential piece of Haskell infrastructure.

You can see this using Roel van Dijk's reversed dependencies overview [1]: 23 direct and 57 indirect dependencies on haskell-src-exts-1.8.0

Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl

And how many of those used haskell-src-exts *before* the SoC project? And would have used it regardless? You can't point to a popular project which got a SoC student, and say look at how popular it is - obviously the SoC student was hugely successful.

Regardless of that, is there any reason to disregard Neil's summary and not update your page?
