Dear all, I wish `stack` were listed and highlighted as the preferred method of getting GHC + related tools on haskell.org .
I find the tools and infrastructure developed by FP Complete to be robust and intuitive. This is _not_ to disparage all the good work that went into cabal-install and Hackage. Rather, the FPCo tools have been a net evolution. The technical merits are undeniable, and I can see in Mr Snoyman's remarks the concerns of a technology leader to remove all sources of error and friction. Even the `stack` packaged up with HP quickly becomes out of date. In general, we are witnessing the coming of age of the language, and the (slightly) different priorities (and modes of operation) faced by industrial and "casual" users. At the same time, I have a nagging wish such critical parts of Haskell weren't under direct control of a corporation, albeit one with such a transparent (and efficient!) open-source policy. I wish you all a good day with the hope we'll get back soon at discussing types rather than politics.
