I work on the Glasgow Haskell Compiler among other things as a partner and Haskell consultant at Well-Typed.
I love my turtle, hiking, sailing, and making things.

After a long wait, GHC 9.14.1-rc1 is now available. This includes an important fix which ensures compatibility with macOS 26 and later. We expect that this same fix will be backported to GHC 9.12 and 9.10 in the coming months.
Happy Haskelling!

GHC 9.14.1-alpha3 is now available!
This was a considerably longer process that than expected for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that MacOS 26 has broken our linking toolchain. A fix for this will be coming in the next prerelease, release candidate 1.

GHC 9.14.1-alpha1 is at long last available: https://discourse.haskell.org/t/ghc-9-14-1-alpha1-released/12786
This is the first of what will likely be three alphas, although on a somewhat more condensed schedule than usual due to the late start to the pre-release process.
As always, we would appreciate your testing.

Democratic Party: We are spending $20M to figure out how to talk to male voters
Mamdani: Save your money. Endorse me. I have +45 favorability with male voters
Dem Party: We meant young male voters
Mamdani: I have +73 favorability with men under 45
Dem Party: We're not endorsing you dude. Go away. Now, why is our favorability is -54? Let's spend $20M on wealthy consultants to figure it out!
Better infrastructure, fewer surprises. We’re raising $6K for a dedicated ARM server to support #Haskell’s infrastructure - CI, backups, and more. Let’s build infra you can reliably pattern match on. Every contribution helps!

Historically, the Haskell community has relied on a mix of cloud providers and self-hosted servers for our core infrastructure (Hackage, Stackage, GHC, CI, etc.). More recently the Haskell Infrastructure team has completed a migration of many of i...
Senator Murkowski just saved the Big Beautiful Bill
She switched her vote to yes giving republicans the 50 - 50 split which allows JD Vance to tiebreak
She immediately told reporters she hopes congress will vote it down.
Up to 18.5 MILLION Americans could lose Medicaid coverage because of this
Republicans are cowards
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled ... was convincing internet communities to switch from email lists / IRC / another open standard to Slack / Discord. The latest example of a “it's only free while we say it's free" is CNCF’s / Kubernetes's Slack - https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/communication/slack-migration-faq.md - who it appears have *4 days* to backup their history (for a server with 100,000s of users)
Neither Slack nor Discord are reasonable, serious, professional, options for open community discussion. They are either too expensive, and/or involve inappropriate advertising. And who knows when Discord will start pulling this kind of behaviour, too, requiring large communities to pay?
The problem is today when anyone says "can't we just use an email list?" they are pooh-pooh'ed as being horribly out of touch. Hence why even the linked FAQ describes Discord as the only likely exit plan for Kubernetes. What a mess.
GHC 9.10.2 release candidate 1 is now available for your testing. This is a big release for a minor release; far too many bug fixes to list. As always, please do open a ticket if you findanything amiss.
Happy Haskelling!
