As someone who is often unable to even enjoy soda because it immediately starts bubbling up and only remains as a sugary liquid by the time it reaches the esophagus, I guess I can’t replicate your observations. Also, I guess I need more water in my mouth before I can let Jesus into it (for a more pleasant experience for both of us)
Last I checked (which was some time ago), pandoc-bin doesn’t require the haskell dependencies. I saved quite some installation time (and screen space during installation) by switching.
