What is the defacto IDE/editor for Haskell? I've messed around with Leksah, which looks like it's pretty nice, but I have absolutely no idea how it works.
Why does it open a new Safari window after the installation? That's pretty annoying but besides that I'm happy about every new version.
Because Apple's installer framework has the option to open a document after installation is complete: We have it open the start.html page. Alas, Apple's framework always opens web pages with Safari, no matter what the user has set as their default browser. I don't know why, since it is just the standard "open" action - suspect it has to do with the Installer running as root. If anyone knows a work around, I'm all ear…

I'd use Haskell for everything if I could, but the JVM and Python still have compelling use cases (libraries, frameworks, ubiquity).

If you dont know anything about haskell (orat leastanother similar language). Then do yorself a favour and go learn more about it :) If you already know what haskell is about, id say its killer feature is the rich type system. Not only is it very complete (including support for generics, overloading and much more) but the ecosystem as a whole is oriented towards static safety guarantees and having the compiler help y…

I really would like to use haskell (ghc) even more but the lack of 64 support on windows is a realworld troublemaker. When your doing anything with large dataset you must constantly think about what will happen when lazyness and garbage collector kicks you in the face because you hit the classic win32 bit 2GB upper limit. Profiling and watch for spaceleaks will save you but you wouldn't even be doing this in a proper…
