As someone whose ISP enforces a draconian bandwidth limit, I would really like to see an estimate of how much all the dependencies are going to end up costing me.

The last time I tried to build a Haskell program (I think it was on 64-bit Arch linux), I ended up quitting after I broke 800 MB in downloads with no end in sight.

Link to video[0] is currently responding w/ a 404. Anybody have insight into proper link? [0] http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4183423992181607417

Where did you see that link? Is it this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0061WZF_YE

I gave a Yi demo at the Haskell Symposium, and the video (recorded "guerrilla style") is available! (It should also appear on the ACM Digital Library too, hopefully in better quality, but don't hold your breath.)"

...and the video <--- "video" hyperlinked w/ URL I gave...

Haskell can build self-contained binaries that don't require a 700MB compiler. Look for /-bin$/ packages.

Ah I see it. I think the YouTube link I gave is the same one (from Haskell Symposium 2008). Terrible quality unfortunately...

Edit: https://wiki.haskell.org/Yi has two screenshots and a decent overview of what's available. It's more up to date than the video at least.

That's probably a one-time install of the haskell-platform package.

After you install that, most dependencies are small.

I remember one where the speaker demoed ... partial? indentation. Changing an L-value[1], shifted the R-values on each keystroke. Haskellers in the room slowly clapped. I was amazed (by both).

[1] If I may call it that way.
