Hi all,
As a new user of arch-haskell, I would just like to put the question out there: What is the point of arch-haskell, vs using cabal? Is it simply for the elegance of using a single package manager (pacman) for all packages on my system (Haskell-related and not) or is there some other inherent problem I can expect down the line if I were to use the cabal ecosystem?
sorry if this is a redundant question - Dawid Loubser
