Re: Visual Haskell's Hello, World
Hi Bill, On 1/2/07, Bill Mill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: It seems trivial, but I think the contents of main.hs in the Visual Haskell default project should include a getChar: module Main where main = do putStrLn "Hello, world!" getChar The first thing a user is going to do on installation is hit the "build and execute" button, and the default project displays a window which then closes before the user can see if anything's happened. I don't have Visual Studio or Visual Haskell installed right now, but I recall that for most languages there is two ways to run a program: debug and non-debug. For haskell these would be the same at the moment. But there's also another diffrence: non-debug leaves console window open after running the program. I think typical key bindings are F5 for debug run, and Ctrl+F5 for non-debug.

Re: Visual Haskell's Hello, World
Hi Bill, It seems trivial, but I think the contents of main.hs in the Visual Haskell default project should include a getChar: Then people will wonder why their app has stopped, and get very confused. A much better solution would be for GHC in Visual Studio to pause at the end of a console application and give the user a "program terminated, press any key to finish" message. Ideally at the end of every program, not just for the sample one.
