> The community went from Cabal (and the infamous Cabal hell) to Stack, and back to Cabal.

I didn't know this. I've been away from Haskell for a couple of years. When I last used the language, Stack seemed like smoothest experience and solved many of the pain points with Cabal. The community went back to Cabal? What did I miss? :)

Cabal got better, stack stayed the same. It's more a cultural divide than anything at this point.


I currently don’t use Haskell but maintain an old Haskell package from a failed startup of mine that has some commercial usage by other orgs. I have been assuming everyone is using stack? I’m also interested to hear what is going on here


Just came here to say that I re-installed Haskell on a new ARM MacBook and the tooling is fine ... everything setup in about 10 mins and everything worked just fine.
