Re: [Haskell-cafe] [ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.4.2-rc1 now available

Thanks for the announcement, Ben. Since cabal-install 2.2 was just released, we were planning a new Haskell Platform release Any Day Now (tm). But given the impending 8.4.2 release, I think we will hold off until it lands. Cheers, Gershom On April 1, 2018 at 5:07:35 PM, Ben Gamari

Re: Proposal: Professionalizing GHC Development

Could you clarify? I see two promising proposals in this: A) Redefining proof-of-work to mean one has to compile a GHC instead of computing some obscure hashes only nerds care about B) GHC will be compiled via contracts in the blockchain, to make sure all mistake remain attributable I like

Re: Proposal: Professionalizing GHC Development

Compiling GHC on a blockchain may not be economical, but running GHC-compiled programs on a blockchain is definitely a great idea! I've even come up with a paper title: A Secure Decentralized Transactional Implementation of Spinless Tagless G-machine, aka Haskoin! Time to recruiting a few
