</a>writes:<br>> I use Ubuntu. Most stuff is fairly up-to-date, but even with six-month
releases, it's lagging the cutting edge, and GHC is still 6.12. Thus, I
tend to install development stuff via Cabal these days, which at least
partly evens out the playing ground between different distributions.<br><br>I hope latest GHC (itself + standard libraries) can always be compiled from source on Ubuntu these days?<br><br>> Let me know if you would like opinions on
Emacs vs vi!<br><br>I know vi, but it is just that I got used to Emacs which is my main IDE for most PL that I work with and for many years already )<br>
