[Haskell-cafe] Literate program implementing text editor

[Eric]

Hi all,

I wanted to embark on a Haskell program that implements a simple text
editor. Before doing so, however, I thought that I should ask: Does
anyone know of a literate Haskell program already in existence that does
the job?

I've found it very hard to compile Yi, at least using the stock Haskell
packages that come with my Ubuntu system. For starters, it requires GHC
6.8.3. The latest milestone release (M3) is quite old already. Does
anyone know when M4 is planned to come out? And will it require a
bleeding edge Haskell environment like the development version?
