[Haskell-cafe] Batteries included (Was: GHC is a monopoly compiler)

[Heinrich Apfelmus]

Dear hyped,

I have uploaded the code to

   https://github.com/HeinrichApfelmus/hyper-haskell

It's not a release yet, so no one-click installer yet, but it should be 
very easy to get it running after cloning the repository (and 
downloading the Electron application). Let me know what you think!


Best regards,
Heinrich Apfelmus
