[Haskell-beginners] [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: Haskell Communities and Activities Report (33rd ed., November 2017)

[Jeffrey Brown]

This treasure trove almost flew under my radar! From the title I thought it
was just going to be the results of the recent survey. When I started
reading, I thought it would only be plans for changes to the language.
Finally I made it to the list (section 4) of tools that exist now and was
like woah.
