[Haskell-cafe] lambdabot-4.2.3.3

[James Cook]

The irc server it runs on has about 10 users, all of whom I know and trust, so I have not tested it extensively but it should be as safe as anything else running Safe Haskell. Mueval uses the ghc API and with a minor modification can do so in "safe" mode. As long as you don't trust any packages you shouldn't, it should be fine.  This sort of thing is why safe Haskell exists.
