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

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

Overall this is a great proposal; glad we're finally modernizing! Still, it's got a pretty steep price tag - maybe we can offset costs with an I.C.O.? ("GHC Coin"?) > El 1 abr 2018, a las 00:56, Gershom B escribió: > > Fellow Haskellers, > > Recently there has been much

Fellow Haskellers, Recently there has been much work into creating a better and more professional GHC development process, including in the form of DevOps infrastructure, scheduled releases and governance, etc. But much remains to be done. There continues to be concern about the lack of use of
