 chreekat | i can see on https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/13337 that it was given the 'backport_needed:9.8' label, but that didn't come to pass | 07:33:10 |
| chreekat | and no further releases of 9.8 are planned. https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/GHC%20Status#all-released-ghc-versions | 07:34:01 |

 Janus | how does it make sense to label 9.8 as 'suitable for use' if it has known bugs that are fixed in both older and newer major series ? | 00:52:59 |

|  Arian joined the room. | 12:21:33 |
| Arian | Why is enableSeparateBinOutput false by default for Haskell packages?
A lot of Haskell libraries ship example binaries and they're all shipped by default and statically linked which makes them huge | 12:21:38 |

 maralorn | I think because in some cases it can lead to cyclic dependencies and thus build failures. Also it would be a breaking change which could lead to deployed services failing in production. | 14:53:06 |
| maralorn | But I agree that it would be the better default. | 14:53:29 |
| Arian | Only leads to outages for people who write bad code and don't use lib.getExe | 20:15:12 |

 Artem | unstable currently has broken version of haskellPackages.hakyll, 4.16.8.0 (it's deprecated on Hackage as violating PVP and it brakes stuff). Is this being fixed or should i submit something?.. | 20:22:57 |

| Artem | ah, it looks like a recent merge bumping ghc to 9.12 also has the new version of hakyll (4.17) | 21:51:28 |

 tks_123 | Wait a minute... wow... hmm. | 11:34:21 |
| tks_123 | Just to confirm: | 11:34:24 |
| tks_123 | Is it true that since GHC 9.6, the same GHC compilation can do both normal binary and javascript? | 11:35:33 |
| tks_123 | and since stackage seems to be on 9.10.x already, so is haskell4nix? And so binary&JS in same environment / same GHC executable is already ready to go? | 11:36:27 |
| tks_123 | * and since default haskellPackages GHC seems to be 9.10.x already, binary&JS in same environment / same GHC executable is already ready to go? | 11:38:46 |
| tks_123 | and now, the old GHCJS is already truly obsolete?? | 11:38:57 |
| tks_123 | * and now, the old GHCJS is already truly obsolete (for new programs)?? | 11:39:10 |
