@sjb3d @aras @joeldevahl have you looked at dual contouring? It's more costly, with finding tangentials, but the result is as good as it gets.

I wish `git` had something to hexdiff files out of the box, instead of that weak excuse of "binary file differ"

@acowley So, this is -Wcompat? (=

To sum up, we have:
- Stackage LTS, pinning GHC major and a set of cross-compatible packages.
- -Wcompat for advance warnings.
- -XGHC2021 for baseline language features
- GHC proposal system to announce, plan ahead, and coordinate features.

What do we miss other than formal blessing that such-and-such GHC/LTS heralds a new "epoch"?

ghc/8.10.7 and its associated lts-18 appear to be something just like that.
And soon 9.6.x will come, that'll cement in GHC2021, text-2, etc etc

@acowley So, those are our stackage LTS snapshots?

@acowley If anything, it would be python 2/3 and scala 2/3, regularly.

Maybe I just prefer gradual fixing instead of "patch tues-years".

@acowley How it is better than 3-ghc-majors policy?

@wilfredh what about about emacs.zip ?

Screw banks and their "security" policies

@RenewedRebecca @cwebber let them combine the best parts in a collaborative effort

@rml This looks like nominal vs structural "styles". Haskell clearly favors the former, but has a lot to work with the latter - Dynamic, Generics, all kinds of "Value" ASTs and coercing/parsing/building to bridge it.

I'm pessimistic, honestly, on the merits of generic structures throughout and usually want to parse them away and the boundary. Thus, it's Haskell for me (:

@rml hm... Perhaps I don't get what do you mean here. What's the difference between a composable and decomposable code?

@xkummerer @rml praxis

@rml how do you know it isn't the other way around?

@rml nah, theories compose quite badly

@reidrac@social.sdf.org and it gets better too!

I'm just tired of the "Haskell tooling bad, LSP does boo-boo" takes recently. Please, cut it some slack.

I should write a huge text about how #Haskell is a great language and is getting better all the time.
Just to dilute the stream of negativity constantly appearing on feeds.

Maybe *you* should too.

Gosh, I sometimes hate that the LSPs are a thing now. People really like to dunk on #Haskell and its "toolchain" for LSP deficiencies.

Come on, people, this stuff is barely mature by itself.

And you really can do without it.

@sanityinc I don't get the point in the post. If you don't like the tempo, you just stay on whatever the LTS suits you. If a library is too fancy for you, don't touch it. Hate YAMLy hpack? Sure, use cabal. Love it? Do the other way around.
