[Haskell-cafe] Package Takeover: `toml`

[Carter Schonwald]

Are you talking about tomland ??

There’s no GitHub url on the toml package from 2014 ...

I think the main priority here is having a canonically good toml lib for
the community, in a good name space, That meets our needs robustly (I think
emily has some interesting AND WORTHY uses in mind).

Can you share the dev repo?

To be clear: this is in the context hackage is a public commons and its
name space is a resource. Do you have any immediate plans/needs for that
specific package name?

If not, we promise to give some excellent code a great home in the toml
name space if you hand it over.  Everyone will be happy and joyous at the
resulting work that emily will facilitate. And dogs will dance in the
streets and children will smile.

If you still have any residual concerns, emily and I are happy to hop on a
video chat to solve worries therof.

Cheers!

-Carter
