[Haskell-cafe] Why is it so different between 6.12.1 and 6.10.4_1 ?

[zaxis]

thanks for your answer!   However, i still feel the following code snippets
have different code style.

1. C-style
winSSQ count noRed noBlue = do {
    let {yesRed=[1..33] \\ noRed; yesBlue=[1..16] \\ noBlue};
    ps <- picoSec;
    setStdGen (mkStdGen $ fromInteger ps);
    result <- pick_ssq_nums count yesRed yesBlue [];
    forM_ result (\x -> print x);
    writeFile "ssqNum.txt" $ ints_str result;
}

2. layout style
picoSec :: IO Integer
picoSec = do
    t <- ctPicosec `liftM` (getClockTime >>= toCalendarTime)
    return t

The layout style makes me think of python.
