Is Miranda dead? From what information I've been able to find, seems
like it hasn't been actively developed in years. The mailing list
information says only a couple of posts happen a year. A search here
for "Miranda" shows the last post on it being in 2004 or so.

Miranda has to all intents and purposes been superseeded by Haskell.

Meh, that sucks. I liked the list comprehensions with Miranda, and
every time I write Haskell code it wants me to do explicit type
conversions and it sucks.

Anyway, thanks. Seemed like this list was dead.

What conversions does Haskell require that Miranda lets you skip?

fromInteger would be my guess.

Yup, that's the main one I have trouble with, and I hate having to
clutter my code with it.
