| ourselves on Haskell. I infer from your letter that the GHC | team has no | interest on building a practical Haskell compiler, but to | play and experiment with the language. I didn't speak clearly enough if that is your inference! First, GHC is certainly a practical Haskell compiler in the sense that people use it for practical purposes. Second, it's not true that we have 'no interest' in making it a better product. All I said was that doing so is not our only priority, nor should it properly be so. | Why the Haskell community | do not try to find someone who wants to build an industrial | strength compiler? | I mean, a group who could produce a | competitive compiler, useful not only to people who are | interested in testing | the language, but also in using it to produce commercial and | industrial tools. I think that would be absolutely splendid and I would do whatever I could to support such a person/group/company. Simon
