		mark_l_watson on July 8, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The New Haskell Homepage I like the look. A question: I have always used the "The Haskell Platform" download page and installer. The new download page looks like it is just Haskell, cabal, and default libraries. I am running ghc version 7.6.3 and cabal version 1.16.0.2. Haskell experts: should I do a fresh install? (I am on OS X and Ubuntu). Also, shameless plug: I blogged earlier today about using Haskell to access OpenCalais and the DBPedia SPARQL endpoint: http://blog.markwatson.com/2014/07/some-haskell-hacks-sparql...

If you're on OS X or Linux, you should not use the Haskell Platform. It's a whole lot of pain for literally no gain...

Thanks Jon, I appreciate the advice. I am re-installing from haskell.org right now.
