I am sorry if I gave the impression that JustHub was unique in adopting a functional philosophy to distributing Haskell -- obviously it is not and that was poor phrasing on my part.

I think the Nix distribution might be a natural fit for 'hub' integration -- I would be happy to work with the Nix people on that (though it can't be right now). Chris
