Haskell!

Is it possible to run the tests on Travis CI? Somewhere here: https://github.com/dariusk/wordfilter/blob/master/.travis.yml#L21-L27

May need Haskell installing first.

If so, rather than using sudo apt-get install, try haskell-platform in addons: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/installing-dependencies/#Adding-APT-Packages

Otherwise, perhaps the "mega" Trusty image has it: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/trusty-ci-environment/

@hugovk I think I set the tests to run properly, but I'm not sure if they're running, nor if Haskell is properly installed on the ci server, nor how to check any of those things. I found https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/haskell which makes it seem pretty easy, but I don't know very much about Travis, I'm afraid. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@swizzard It's currently failing due to /home/travis/build.sh: line 57: cabal: command not found. cabal would need installing first and I had a quick try in this branch, but I'm not familiar with Haskell and didn't get it working. So unless you know what's missing there, perhaps it's just best just to remove it from Travis CI.

But thanks for checking!

@hugovk have you tried setting sudo: required before installing haskell-platform? i've tried to install cabal-install and ghc separately, and ghc fails to install with a warning about sudo. I don't personally feel comfortable doing that on someone else's server, so I'll leave it at your discretion.

Checking back in on this--if I remove the Haskell tests from Travis, would this branch still qualify to be merged upstream? Or should I just close this PR and let my fork live on its own?

I don't have merge rights for this repo, but I think it'd be good to have Haskell in here and best to just remove the tests from Travis CI. Thanks for trying it out though!
