<p dir="ltr">Gee, thanks everyone for the feedback. Stack will do for now, I didn't realise I can run ghci from outside a project directory using stack exec ghci. The platform is quite large, and I'm on a costly metered network connection.</p>

It works just fine! And it comes with a prebuilt network package too.<br>
<br>
These days, it also comes with MSYS2. However, it does not yet come with a “path switcher” script as MinGHC did. So if you want to _reinstall_ network or the like, you need to first add the appropriate msys directories to your path for the duration of the build.<br>
<br>
These days, as far as I’m concerned, the only obstacle to using the platform on windows is if you _really_ don’t want any platform packages installed in your global package repo. And with the next release of the platform, that won’t be an issue either...<br>
