What other links or resource would be helpful.
On almost the same topic (only the GHC side) I wrote a big picture note "About units" a few years ago: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/blob/12d3b66cedd3c80e7c1e030238c92d2663... Sylvain On 16/07/2024 12:20, Simon Peyton Jones wrote:

You may remember a recent thread on ghc-devs about GHC and Cabal https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2024-July/021678.html. In it I say how I feel I lack the "big picture" of how GHC and Cabal interact, and that my mental model is probably faulty.
Tom Ellis took pity on me, and together we wrote this big-picture overview about how GHC and Cabal interact https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mQEpV3fYz1pHi64KTnlv8gifh9ONQ-jytk5sIHqn.... Would you like to:
* Read it as a consumer. o Does it tell you stuff that is useful? o What else would you like to know? o What is un-clear or missing? * Read it as an expert. o Is it accurate? o Are any bits misleading? o Do the links go to appropriate places? o What other links or resource would be helpful.
It is not intended as a replacement for the GHC user guide, nor the Cabal user guide; rather it is littered with links to those guides which give much fuller details. Rather, it is intended to put you (well, me for one!) in a position where you can more easily make sense of those documents.
We'd love to have your help in improving it.
Simon
