Hello ghc-devs,

I hadn't made significant contributions to the GHC code base in a while, until a few days ago, where I discovered that my computer wasn't able to sustain running the test suite, nor handle HLS well.

Whether it is my OS automatically killing the process due to oom-killer or just the fact that I don't have a war machine, I find it too bad and I'm frankly discouraged. This is not the first time such feedback emerges, as the documentation task force for the base library was unable to properly onboard some people from third-world countries who do not have access to hardware we'd consider "standard" in western Europe or some parts of North America. Or at least "standard" until even my standard stuff didn't cut it anymore.

So yeah, I'll stay around but I'm afraid I'm going to have to focus on projects for which the feedback loop is not on the scale of hours , as this is a hobby project.

Hope this will open some eyes.

Cheers,
Hécate
