I'm sorry, but I don't see it. Function composition is one of /the/ most

I should point out that what seems like a rude name in one
language may be a perfectly proper word in another.
For example, "ai" in Maori means "to copulate", and yet
we have things like the AI Journal. Naughty naughty.

I censored it because I intend the HWN to be a PG rated article. I

mouths fouler than mine, which is a feat for sure -- that some young

Yeah, I found many pages about it (some making fun of a interpreter that
"follows all H98 spec"). But i'm still crawling to understand who is who and
what are the pages to get help in Haskell community :D
And well, tha's bad, i've really enjoyed Hugs, but i'll have to use GHC
instead :D
Thanks.

Hello,
Are there currently any known problems that would hinder the
implementation of kind polymorphism [1], e.g. unresolved inelegancies or
technical limitations, or is it only a matter of finding the time to

Hi everyone
I recently started porting cabal-install to Freebsd. When I looked at its
dependencies on hackage, I noticed HTTP (>=4000.0.2 && <4001). However the
latest HTTP version on hackage is 4000.0.8. That struck me as kinda odd. How

Sure, just let me know :)
If this is to be done, I think it's better that the person writing
the Haskell code do not write runGUI, so the implementation
details wouln't discourage ideas that make life easier for users.

This looks very nice. Have you thought about putting this code in to

Has there been "real world" adoption of any of these, in the shape of
a moderately complex end-user application that is not just a library
