A lot of interesting news this week:
In the Haskell camp, Haskell 2010 was officially announced by Simon Marlow! This is the first update to language specification since Haskell 98 over a decade ago. The language committee has been working on this for the last four or so years. What's more, from now on there will be an annual release schedule to keep the language up to date.
Meanwhile the FreeBSD guys released version 8.0 early this week. It hasn't been actually announced yet, but it is already available in the repositories. Also distributions have been mirrored internationally.
Coincidentially, I've recently started working on a port of the cabal-install command to FreeBSD. So that I can leverage the full power of my favorite programming language on my favorite operating system.
