That means the GHC team's insidious plan to give darcs a kick up the
arse worked, then? ;o)
On a less flippant (but no less drunken*) note I'd like to say the
recent fervour in the darcs community is extremely encouraging. As
I'm currently using both darcs and git**, darcs gives me a little bit
of joy every time I do something I usually fail at in git, ie
something that usually involves uploading source files to Basecamp.
ie, most things.
Also, at a recent GeekUp[1] event in Sheffield, I discovered - upon
writing talk suggestions on zsh and darcs on the board - that there's
another darcs and Haskell fan in the area. He's interested in darcs
because it's written in "the most beautiful language ever invented",
apparently.
I intend to trick him into submitting patches at Eric's request, of
course =)
