[Haskell-cafe] Parse error

[Tony Morris]

No, but there's a specific reason why GHC consistently refuses to accept
your perfectly unreasonable code snippet :)

GHC accepts the following perfectly reasonable code snippet:

main = do
 putStrLn "Line 1"
 putStrLn "Line 2"

 let xs = do x <- [1..10]
             y <- [1..10]
             return (x+y)

 print xs
