Hi Sylvester,

Could you please give an example of code that you think should be correct, but is rejected by a recent GHC?
It is certainly annoying when code from a book on Haskell fails to parse. But perhaps the cause is not so nefarious as a backwards incompatible change in syntax.

White space in "do notation" is no longer supported by GHC but I had to guess it the hard way seeing my solutions to Hutton's book and then his own code produce "Parse error" and irritating hint "Possibly caused by a missing 'do'?". So, Hutton 2ed is outdated, Haskell Platform is dropped exhausted then perhaps GHC should have a TV station?
Fun is best when it can be shared.
Regards,
Sylvester
