Your "gsi> " is buffered because there's no newline at the end. To flush
the buffer and force it to be printed immediately, use 'hFlush' from the
System.IO library, or use 'hSetBuffering' from that same library:
http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/System-IO.html
I believe you can observe the same behavior in C.

$ cat > foo.c #include
int main() { char s[1024]; printf("gsi> "); gets(s); printf("%s\n", s); return 0; } $ make foo cc gsi.c -o gsi $ ./foo warning: this program uses gets(), which is unsafe. gsi> hello hello $ cat > foo.hs main = do putStr "gsi> " s <- getLine putStrLn s $ ghc foo.hs -o foo $ ./foo hello gsi> hello
(This is on MacOS X). It strikes me that GHC is being extraordinarily unhelpful here. Is there anyone on the planet who ever actually wants this behavior?
