[Haskell-cafe] [Haskell] GHC is a monopoly compiler

[Michael Sloan]

And thank you for being a graceful moderator, Tom!  Much appreciated :)

I am going to step out of this thread to avoid any further
disgruntlement.  When opinions are this diametrically opposed and
emotions are running hot, it is best to spend some time away from the
discussion, and contemplate from whence eachother's viewpoints might
originate.

Peace and love!
