This is how I understand the whole heohaskell thing: some guy comes out of nowhere, spends some time picking fonts for neohaskell's website and then starts churning out github-tickets for this-is-what-a-better-haskell-is-supposed-to-look-like instead of actually doing stuff :)

I think he's tracking his ideas about this project in github tickets. IMO, that's a good first step. Whether he'll do something about those tickets or not is a question that comes later. Let's see what he'll do.

I can agree with this. However, it's odd to start communicating the way he did this early in the project, when none of these ideas have been thought out.

That's probably as close to reality as I would guess. We'll have to see if anything gets delivered.

I don't get why Gabriela is so against this project, it might just be vaporware. But invoking the fact that this person is not already established in the community is detraction for detraction's sake (or gatekeeping).

Funny enough, I've also been very slowly chipping away at some base(/prelude) Haskell library replacement, because I find it beyond embarrassing that in 2023 with a default Haskell installation one cannot make a HTTPS GET request.

Haskell comes with half depleted batteries inside the box. And I cheer for anyone that tries to fix the base experience. If this one's vaporware, I'll just wait for the next person that gets too frustrated with the library experience.

Sounds interesting! Do you have anything you can link us to?

... we also need a base library that has some standard data structures like maps, vectors, stacks, and queues! Best of luck with your project. :)
