As long as you're developing on linux. IME, trying to use haskell libraries on another OS is hell.
- louthy 12y agoPersonally I've had very few issues using Haskell libs on OSX and Windows.
- tieTYT 12y agoPersonally I had so many issues using Haskell libs on Windows that I gave up on the language. I've documented the details of my complaint here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5615516 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5615516
- louthy 12y agoI think this comment from that thread tells you all you need to know: shpider might be giving you another hint about using Haskell: (from the README): "occupation" =: "unemployed Haskell programmer" "location" =: "mother's house"
- tieTYT 12y agoSure, but like I said, "Long story short, I tried installing ~10 libraries with Cabal and only one installed smoothly."
