That’s actually a pretty concrete reason. As far as those go. That said, would be great to hear from more folks On Wed, May 27, 2020 at 11:26 AM Helmut Schmidt < helmut.schmidt.4711@gmail.com> wrote:
It's nice to verify that my code still works with GHC 7.0 which to my knowledge is the GHC version most compliant to the published Haskell 2010 Report. But I realize that nowadays making do with plain Haskell 2010 and without all those GHC extensions may not be a popular opinion though.

Hey all, What are the oldest ghc versions folks are actually using to build software they actually use ? What are the contexts for these ?
I know a lot of library maintainers, myself included try to make it easy to suport as wide a version range of ghc as possible. In my case I find it useful to just have another way to evaluate how stable I can make a library.
That said, what actual old ghc versions are folks actually using?
Afaict, the oldest ghc currently in a lts linux distro is ghc 7.0 in centos 6
Then centos 7 and the oldest Ubuntu lts are 7.6, then more recent distros plus most other os platforms like the bsds are on 8.0-8.4 as the oldest supported / provided ghc.
Who are the users today and how important are they for todays library maintainers ?
