I've used Haskell on a Mac daily for several years now. I subscribe to (and read at least subject lines from) Haskell-cafe and Haskell mailing lists -- including Haskell Weekly News and HCAR -- though I'm only occasionally on reddit and very rarely look at #haskell. Besides, I run MacOS 10.8, and so ghcformacosx doesn't help me, anyway. (I installed 10.9 once upon a time. It slowed down my machine so much I preferred to reformat and roll back to 10.8, even though I was facing down a nasty deadline.)</div><div><br></div><div>At the least, this end of the debate shows me that the community has some disagreement about what today's status quo is, an important fact to settle on before charting a course for the future.</div><br><div>Richard</div></body></html>
