+ <h2>Code</h2>
+ <p>Darcs is written in Haskell, not in C, so a Haskell compiler is required to compile darcs. In addition, the Haskell compiler is written in Haskell, not in C, so you may experience a bootstrapping problem if a precompiled binary of the Haskell compiler is not available for your machine. For most users, it is not necessary to build darcs from source, and instead one of the precompiled binary packages linked above will suffice.</p>
