| 2026-02-26 03:53:24 +0100 | <Clint> | it's 9.6.6 with some patches, ftr |
| 2026-02-26 03:49:08 +0100 | <ethan1> | if it becomes a huge problem |
| 2026-02-26 03:48:44 +0100 | <ethan1> | i'll just run the ghcup install script when i can, then |
| 2026-02-26 03:48:11 +0100 | <ethan1> | yeah debian lol |

| 2026-02-26 03:47:45 +0100 | <geekosaur> | maerwald: debian |
| 2026-02-26 03:47:37 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it's probably okay but there are some bugs on some platforms: https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.6.7/docs/users_guide/9.6.7-notes.html#compiler and succeeding sections |
| 2026-02-26 03:46:24 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <maerwald> why do you have 9.6.6 |
| 2026-02-26 03:42:59 +0100 | ChaiTRex | (~ChaiTRex@user/chaitrex) ChaiTRex |
| 2026-02-26 03:42:56 +0100 | <ethan1> | specifically, i've got 9.6.6 |
| 2026-02-26 03:42:25 +0100 | <geekosaur> | there is certainly no reason to run very recent versions unless you want to experiment; ghc moves quickly because it's' both a research compiler and a production compiler |
| 2026-02-26 03:41:23 +0100 | <geekosaur> | in general you want the latest minor version of any ghc (with haskell version numbers, the major number is the first two components) |
| 2026-02-26 03:40:46 +0100 | <geekosaur> | 9.6.7 is fine, older minor versions can be problematic |
| 2026-02-26 03:39:06 +0100 | ChaiTRex | (~ChaiTRex@user/chaitrex) (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) |
| 2026-02-26 03:38:15 +0100 | <ethan1> | how bad are the bugs? |
| 2026-02-26 03:38:07 +0100 | <ethan1> | i have v9.6 |
| 2026-02-26 03:37:53 +0100 | <geekosaur> | and if your ghc is older than 9.4 it will also have potentially severe known bugs |
| 2026-02-26 03:37:02 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (in particular cabal 3.10.3 is fairly old at this point and has known bugs) |
| 2026-02-26 03:36:37 +0100 | <geekosaur> | ghcup gets you recommended versions of things |
| 2026-02-26 03:36:36 +0100 | <ethan1> | geekosaur: that's fine then, i'll update if i need to |
| 2026-02-26 03:36:22 +0100 | <ethan1> | and it turns out i don't have cabal, so i installed cabal 3.10.3 |
| 2026-02-26 03:36:11 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it'll work, it'll just get you older versions of things |
| 2026-02-26 03:35:38 +0100 | <ethan1> | i was thinking i'd stick to that setup for most of it, and then i'd tweak it later if needed |
| 2026-02-26 03:35:19 +0100 | <ethan1> | i want to get through the course and/or book |
| 2026-02-26 03:35:04 +0100 | <ethan1> | things seem to work fine |
| 2026-02-26 03:34:59 +0100 | <ethan1> | what i did was install debian's version of stack, and used that to install ghci |
| 2026-02-26 03:34:41 +0100 | ChaiTRex | (~ChaiTRex@user/chaitrex) ChaiTRex |
| 2026-02-26 03:32:05 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it's an installer, not a builder |
| 2026-02-26 03:31:55 +0100 | <geekosaur> | ghcup installs both cabal and stack |
| 2026-02-26 03:28:35 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <maerwald> cabal should be enough |
| 2026-02-26 03:28:10 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <maerwald> good |
| 2026-02-26 03:28:10 +0100 | <ethan1> | i could be wrong |
| 2026-02-26 03:28:08 +0100 | <ethan1> | well i'm running v 9.6.6 so i think i've got modern cabal? |
| 2026-02-26 03:27:49 +0100 | <ethan1> | i was looking at https://learnyouahaskell.github.io/introduction.html#about-this-tutorial and they recommend ghcup |
