- applicative: I have my new ghc and am reinstalling my feeble world
- wuttf: My world is starting to feel like isToyLanguage x = x /= Haskell
- PenguinOfDoom: Being enlightened gentlemen, we split all programming languages into two groups, sucks and doesn't-suck and put all of them into the first group.
- Taneb: lens has got to be the only library with more contributors than people who know how it works
- shachaf: I like to put all my application's modules under GHC.* That's because I use the GHC API, and I want them not to conflict.
