Copy/pasting & editing my tweet from the last time I updated this:
One way #haskell stack users can try out ghc-9.4.1-rc1 is by using custom setup info in stack.yaml. Some simple instructions to get you started (updated for 9.4.1-rc1):

@fresheyeball Perhaps you'd like it better if you called it by a better name?

import Data.Monoid (First(First))
data Y -- = whatever
type X = First Y

:set -XPatternSynonyms
pattern Id = First Nothing

@fresheyeball Russia is not acting in Ukraine's best interests, nor is Russia making any attempt to respect the will of Ukraine's people.

According to this survey, 56% of Ukranians supported joining NATO in Feb 2021. (33% opposed.) Russia does not want this to happen.

@tikhonjelvis I feel this. I am (still, somehow) the #4 Haskell-tag *asker* of all time.

But my highest-voted question? Asking for a comprehensive tutorial on python's virtualenv. (A question which doesn't even meet SO's guidelines.)

@taylorfausak Do you maintain any packages with TH? Feels like every major version bump of TH requires inserting more CPP conditionals if you want to maintain compat across versions.

Does #JavaScript have a similar feature to #Python's __getitem__ or #Ruby's method_missing ?

I can't stand prompts like these that literally do not take "no" for an answer

When signing an employment agreement, ask your employer to strike out wording that claims ownership over IP you create on your own time and equipment 🧵

Slack is down. https://t.co/5BNubNAvvS is hilariously also down.
Maybe don't put both of those eggs in the same basket, slack.

[B E A R @saraR0SE]

@SlackStatus +1 for https://t.co/hkoHrcoQ6y also being down. Love this 🙃

[Dan Burton @drb226]

@goodtweeteric Interesting. Thanks for the tip.

Is there a way for Docker & GHC to mix better than oil and water? Having Docker rebuild the whole package because one Haskell file has changed is really annoying.

@lexi_lambda Surfing the web 🏄‍♀️

@jkachmar @dpl0a @paf31 Not sure I follow.

Does the Clojure community not think that more Clojure jobs is a good thing?

Does the Scala community not think that more Scala jobs is a good thing?

How is this a bad look? If I've spent time learning X, then the existence of X jobs is a good thing for me.

@fresheyeball The point is to rewrite history so that you can pretend it is a single series of patches, instead of being a branching tree whose branches merge back into itself.

@DaveKeto You're going to get people saying yes, not to your "123 therefore", but to the conclusion itself, based on other premises not stated here.

What I've heard is that higher BW means the heart has to "work harder" to pump blood through the whole body, and thus, causes higher BP.

@DaveKeto Tires cause accidents in the same way that cups cause spills.

[Dan Burton @drb226]

@cdsmithus "Cause: simplified subsumption"
"Fix: make random changes to code until it builds"

That is some spicy ghc 9 commentary

[Dan Burton @drb226]

Type classes are duck typing for a statically typed language.

[gabby @GabriellaG439]

I have a love/hate relationship with typeclasses
