Thanks, Bulat. I'm looking forward to trying it out this weekend.
Is there any indication what fast IO approach might work its way into the standard libraries? It would be nice for idiomatic Haskell to be really fast by default, and I'd love to be able to show off the language shootout implications to coworkers.
Cabal doesn't seem obvious to me. Currently my uninformed point of view is that the whole thing is too complicated to be worth the benefit it provides. Since it generally seems popular, I'm guessing that means it's either much simpler than it seems, or else the benefit provided is just enormous. Can anyone point me to a sales pitch, or provide some motivation for me to RTFM?
A quick sales pitch: usually you, the library user, can just type: ./runhaskell Setup.hs configure ./runhaskell Setup.hs build ./runhaskell Setup.hs install And it will Do The Right Thing(TM), which is nice. /S -- Sebastian Sylvan +46(0)736-818655 UIN: 44640862
