[Haskell-cafe] Control.Parallel missing

2009-12-28 Thread Mitar
Hi!

A friend of mine tried to learn Haskell and asked me for an advice
because he had problems with Haskell in 5 steps:

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_in_5_steps

Under Write your first parallel Haskell program section there is
import Control.Parallel which is simply missing in 6.12 and also it
is not in documentation anymore:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/index.html

I know that we have moved now to Haskell Platfrom so you can install
it additionally (probably), but for a novice it is not really nice
that example programs do not compile out of the box. Maybe we could
extend this 4th step also with an introduction to Cabal?

Hi Mitar,

I think that step 1 should link to the Haskell Platform, and not to GHC or Hugs 
specifically.
A beginner should not be using GHC 6.12 yet!

greetings,
Sjoerd
