Marlow is _full-time_ at Facebook, bye bye. There's a difference between being a ghc developer and THE ghc developer. He's more of an advisor now than a committer, look at his ghc commit history, lots of comments, few commits.

Not saying he's joined the dark side like Erik Meijer, but he's also not actively _working_ on the compiler as he did before; that's for the new guy(s).

And? Before that he was full time at Microsoft. He was never an employee of any sort of official ghc company working on ghc full time.

What dark side and what is wrong with Erik?
