The first commit was on October 6, so this release took about three weeks of programming (mostly on the bus and when I should have been in bed sleeping). And you're totally right - a lot of the work was done in my head long before I typed "git init."
The very next thing on my to-do list is learning the right way to package this with Cabal so that a single command will install and configure it, and so I can provide pre-built Debian and Ubuntu packages.
- 10ren 17y agoPre-built packages sounds perfect! Though I think you deserve a rest while you bask in adulation. :-) Your idea is worthy of the original unix hackers... and, in keeping with their spirit, made real. BTW: I actually took a little over 2 weeks (2-3 days extra), and I was working full-time (though that amounts to only about 2-3 hours of 100% concentrated hacking); you also did extra stuff with integrating it with bash, and I'm sure fiddling with it a bit to make it a practically usable tool. So I think the implementation time is within a factor of 2, for Java vs. Haskell.
