Hiya Manuel. So the plan was, and I guess still should be, that we were going to have a second discussion on "other download methods" at the bottom of the downloads page, and how to handle listing all sorts of various other things. For example, Haskell for Mac, Kronos IHaskell Notebook, Halcyon, Nix, the fact that one can run Haskell for free over Sage Math Cloud. Also there is the question of if we should link to some place that documents IDEs more too, since often people consider these days IDEs the third critical component of a language along with the way to compile things and the way to manage additional libraries. Anyway, people got busy and we didn't kick off this "other download methods" portion of the discussion in a very timely fashion, so thanks for the push. One question I have is about Haskell for Mac itself. Given appstore restrictions, it sort of has a dual character. I suppose my question is, ultimately, do you see it more as a "way to download haskell" or an "amazing development environment for haskell" (that ultimately has to provide a bundled compiler because of appstore issues). In any case, I don't exactly share Nicolas' concerns about pointing to commercial / non-open-source stuff, as long as we make sure we point to the100% open-source-stuff bigger and first :-) I do share the concern that the page is sort of long and confusing enough already. And as I mentioned above, Haskell for Mac is one of a number of neat tools that are not discoverable from the downloads page now. I don't think /Implementations is quite the right wiki page, but maybe we could point to two pages, one for /Install_Methods and one for /Recommended_IDEs ? (with some things like IHaskell and Haskell for Mac living in both)? -gershom On Sat, Oct 24, 2015 at 6:48 AM, Manuel M T Chakravarty <chak@justtesting.org> wrote:
Sorry for jumping late into the discussion surrounding the downloads page. However, I would like to request that Haskell for Mac <http://haskellformac.com> be added to the page. I’m of course happy to make the edits myself and to submit a pull request, but I’d first like to ask what the community thinks is an appropriate way to add this Haskell distribution.
Would it be appropriate to just add a fourth bullet point to the current list of three (Minimal, Stack & HP)?
Cheers, Manuel
