Before I begin my case, I would like to present an extract.

Here is my stand. At first, I wanted to preserve the list. Now, after reading the first 800 lines, I don't think it would be a good candidate to express what Haskell is all about.

Firstly, there is little Haskellism in the first 800 lines. Let me explain:

The reason is because this list is generated for pandoc. The list is really specific to pandoc. A1 is not a common way to name Haskell datatypes. A typeclass that starts with A is Applicative. A datatype that starts with A is Array. We do not shorten datatype names in Haskell, that is downright awful. We choose meaningful names for our datatypes, that's why there are type synonyms. A List of Chars is called a String, but actually it is a [Char]. We don't use [Char] because it does not express what we want to treat it as. Another example would be ids. We would choose to alias Integer to ID to make it more meaningful for the programmer. BeginAfter, BlockIndented, BlockQuotation, ContentRow, DestinationURL are all highly specific to pandoc. We don't write documentation types all the time in Haskell! That is not our only purpose! Haskell is a general programming language!

Numbers aren't really common when defining Haskell types. Char8, Word8 are just a few I can think of. Hence, this list is a misrepresentation. Again, this is specific to pandoc.

I would like to propose that the current haskell wordlist be replaced by something more appropriate.

By replace I mean: the wordlist is preserved until a better alternative is found.

Or another suggestion, rename it to pandoc.

Are you considering adding support for other networks such as matrix.org?

Hello,

I've checked your project and it's failing to build (or the specs failed) with the latest Crystal (0.26.1) or there are no any specs so the project cannot be validated to be up to date. Your project is in Awesome Crystal list, so I'd like to ask if the project maintained?

I'll initiate a PR to remove your project from the list if you don't respond positively within 7 days.

I'm sorry if I'm wrong, because I've been checking many shards with automated script.

Thanks,
Vlad.

Is there a probleme with the ruby version of Debian Wheezy ?

DeBot works fine with Debian Jessie (testing) but I have an error with Debian Wheezy :
