Re: [Haskell-cafe] [Haskell] GHC is a monopoly compiler

Fair point, my mistake, sorry. I will try to tone it down and be a more civil communicator. To me equating the Haskell Platform with python's batteries included approach is laughable, so I laughed. I find Brandon's opinions on things to often be diametrically opposed to my own, and this seems to be a cause of a great deal of contention. -Michael On Mon, Sep 26, 2016 at 8:20 PM, Tom Murphy wrote:

LOL! Oh man, this guy must be pulling my leg... Haskell platform was never a batteries included plan. It was a plan for package bureaucracy, mixed in with a broken installation approach. Sorry, but that was not a good enough attempt at emulating python's "batteries included" . From https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0206/

The substance of your positions on packaging/HP aside, it has been 15 hours since SPJ's email about having more respectful discussion in our community. Please speak with civility.
