William Stein just sent me a nice note follwing up on this:

"I run SageMathCloud. If there are any libraries you want installed, 
just let me know (wstein at uw.edu). And if there is anything I should 
do to improve support for Haskell in SMC, let me know. 

Thanks, 

— William”

For those unfamiliar with SMC by the way, here is a nice post that he recently wrote about it and the vision behind it (aspects of which, I’m sure are shared by many in the Haskell community).

Cheers,
g.
