> 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/12d3b66cedd3c80e7c1e030238c92d26631cab8d/compiler/GHC/Unit.hs#L23

You may remember a recent thread on ghc-devs about GHC and Cabal.  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.  Would you like to:

• Read it as a consumer.
• Does it tell you stuff that is useful?
• What else would you like to know?
• What is un-clear or missing?
• Read it as an expert.
• Is it accurate?
• Are any bits misleading?
• Do the links go to appropriate places?
• 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
