2026-01-05 02:24:09 +0100 <yahb2> <interactive>:153:5: warning: [GHC-53633] [-Woverlapping-patterns] ; Pattern match is redundant ; In a pattern binding: Just x = ... ; ; ()
2026-01-05 02:24:09 +0100 <EvanR> % let Just x = Nothing in ()
2026-01-05 02:23:32 +0100 <c_wraith> Well, anyway. (let Just x = Nothing in ()) evaluates to (). (case Nothing of Just x -> ()) is a pattern match error.
2026-01-05 02:23:30 +0100 <EvanR> doesn't immediately evaluate?
2026-01-05 02:23:15 +0100 <EvanR> but let Pattern x y z = hopefullyPattern in e ?
2026-01-05 02:22:53 +0100 <EvanR> let x = whatever in y, a thunk makes sense
2026-01-05 02:22:25 +0100 <c_wraith> huh. lambdabot isn't in here right now

2026-01-05 02:21:38 +0100 <c_wraith> > let Just x = Nothing in ()
2026-01-05 02:21:14 +0100 <c_wraith> let/where create a thunk when they match on a pattern. case forces evaluation.
2026-01-05 02:20:37 +0100 <oats> why does so much code in base and ghc use `case` for binding instead of `let` or `where`? like here: https://hackage-content.haskell.org/package/ghc-internal-9.1401.0/docs/src/GHC.Internal.Arr.html#n…

2026-01-05 01:32:15 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> rather unlikely I suppose

2026-01-05 01:30:35 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> or if it's so good there's no minor release for a year, you might make an exception ?
2026-01-05 01:28:52 +0100 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> An LTS release is decided beforehand with no knowledge about its quality. So we'll probably wait until the micro version is at 3 or higher
2026-01-05 01:28:11 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> that'll be great, I'm looking forward to it
2026-01-05 01:27:53 +0100 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> Once they've matured, that is
2026-01-05 01:27:36 +0100 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> But going forward, GHCup will follow GHCs official LTS releases most likely
2026-01-05 01:25:16 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> and as always, thank you for your work, it's appreciated
2026-01-05 01:23:27 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> fair enough, I won't argue with you

2026-01-05 01:22:24 +0100 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> So I think your claim is wrong
2026-01-05 01:21:50 +0100 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> That's a fact
2026-01-05 01:21:46 +0100 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> It doesn't work as fine with new GHC versions
2026-01-05 01:21:34 +0100 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> And tooling works fine with 9.6

2026-01-05 01:21:07 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> of course those exist too
2026-01-05 01:20:41 +0100 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> There's a whole github repo dedicated to it
2026-01-05 01:20:30 +0100 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> My experience in 10 years of Haskell shows that the difficulties and limitations lie within NEW GHC versions.
2026-01-05 01:20:18 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> I mean, I would make the effort if you are truly considering bumping the recommendation. I assume you've seen them all though and will bump when you judge best
2026-01-05 01:19:24 +0100 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> If you make this claim then I think it's important

2026-01-05 01:15:58 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> I did not prepare a list in advance of this chat have forgotten them for the moment. I could go digging in my issue tracker but it's not important
