Re: Haskell 2010 announced.

Now I just need to get serious about learning the language.

Are you kidding?
Now's the time for slackers to put off learning it, since it'll only be obsolete (okay, not really) soon

I've been waiting on Perl 6 for a few years now

Sweet! With a little good fortune the Haskell Platform will end up in community soon.

Re: Haskell 2010 announced.

I've been working through "Learn You A Haskell For Great Good!", but all the llamda and currying makes me hungry for Indian food (true story).

My goal is to spend my Christmas break either playing with Haskell more or playing with Python 3 more, or doing a little of both.

To understand recursion, you must understand recursion.

Re: Haskell 2010 announced.

The 2010 standard is a codification of things that are in general use for quite some time now, so I suppose obsolete depends on your way of looking at it

@skottish: this discussion probably needs to be taken elsewhere, but I'd be happier if the platform is not in community: it makes upgrading individual haskell packages that much harder (not to mention version-dependent inconsistencies if you have more than one version of a package installed.) For the way I use haskell, having ghc and each of the haskell-* packages separate the way it is now is perfectly fine.

I don't want to divert the thread either, but for clarification, it would (will) be one Arch package per element of the platform and not one monolithic package. This means that when it first hits the repos, it will be GHC 6.12.x, so GHC itself will be much smaller than the current version.
