GHC 7.10 will use Plan FTP

https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2015-February/025009.html

* GHC 7.10 will embody Plan FTP.

* The Core Libraries committee, freshly energised and informed by this episode, is drafting new guidelines to clarify what it does, and how it works; and to help avoid a repetition of the recent drama.

This wasn't an entirely easy process, especially because it happened so late in the release cycle. But although many people felt quite strongly about List vs FTP, the whole debate has involved light rather than heat; people have concentrated on the technical issues, rather than yelling. Overall, it's been very encouraging to see the resilience, transparency, and constructive tone of the community. We really appreciate that - thank you.

The Haskell developers don't seem to have realized FTP is obsolete, and they're just now getting around to implementing it. Right now I have so much second-hand embarrassment for them, I could use it to cook a turkey.

what the fuck is FTP

>>3
like HTTP but shit

>>4
epic ambiguity joke

>>3
The Foldable-Traversable proposal.

>>6
ah, that typeclass faggery

edwardk just keeps making haskell worse and worse

>>7
No, better and better. Also, the votes split 80% vs 20%.

>>2
Yeah, they'll be using FTP instead of lists, so instead of just mapping over a list you'll be waiting on a network port for your nodes to be sent via FTP. And instead consing, they'll just fucking upload the nodes onto FTP.

>>9
Sounds like what Paul Graham did in Arc.

>>7
How can you not LOVE being forced to use the CoYoneda Left-Adjoint Semi-Strong Profunctors in the Category of Lens Para-Monads to have composable record getters & setters?

>>11
Are you another Amerifat retard who thinks that "math is hard" and that mathematical terms are arcane and "not real life"? Go watch another mind-numbing "superbowl" while munching on junk food, Murrifat.

>>12
I'm a true LISPer
Not a math nerd

This guy writes his emails in Outlook. I can't take him seriously!

>>12
Arbitrary use of math.

>>15
its not even math, its just overcomplicated rubbish hidden behind mathy words so people can't question it/see through the BS
