In linux I use darcs it's written in haskell. I tried once or twice to look into
ghc source and try to get it running under plan9 so I can run darcs but failed.
I dont have much experience with haskell except for darcs.
Maybe someone with more knowledge with haskell can take a look.

haskell to new platforms. I took a swipe at this once... it did
not go well :)
