I dunno if anyone else has seen these: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/DarcsEvaluation> (and <http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6u3zm/ghc_developers_plan_to_migrate_from_darcs/>.
"On the 23rd July 2008 an IRC meeting on the #ghc channel decided to make a serious effort to replace Darcs, due to all the problems described above. The logs of that meeting are available in full at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/wiki/IRC_Meetings/ghc-metting-2008-07-23.log, but the main conclusions were: * The GHC developers have sufficient problems with Darcs that a change would be beneficial" ... "Disadvantages to staying with darcs: * Uncertain future: no critical mass of hackers/maintainers. The technical basis is not well enough understood by enough people. Reason for elimination: persistent performance and algorithmic problems, see above." -- gwern Sponge Uzbekistan enigma bird assassinate Bunny CAVE zone burned Comirex
