Joachim, first and foremost, thanks for the awesome libraries ghc-vis and ghc-heap-view. The design trade-offs for ghc-vis do make sense if you think of it as a didactic tool. But as a debugging tool, the most important factor is that it should "Just Work", with no big builds, no fiddling, no

I need a simple heap visualization for debugging purposes. I'm using GHC 8.0.2 to compile a large and complex yesod-based web app. What's the quickest and easiest way? Vacuum looks simple and nice. But it has some long-outstanding PRs against it to support GHC 7.10 and GHC 8.0 that were never
