On hadrian: Documentation will eventually catch up as more people use hadrian but imo things that need to be supported are: - Some workflows: * make fast * ./validate * make EXTRA_HC_OPTS="..." - On windows build.bat defaults to stack which I think has never worked on my box. - It's still too easy to run into hadrian bugs imo, which will probably work itself out in a few months. There are also a few quality of life issues like ctrl+c not canceling the build on windows. Which I hope will be resolved at some point but not sure if these should be showstoppers. ghc-devs-request@haskell.org schrieb:
One more thought I'd like to throw out in the open here:
The current Newcomers' Guide uses the current Makefile workflow, but this is on a fast track to deprecation - but then, I doubt Hadrian has seen enough exposure yet to use for a good beginner-friendly "Just Works" guide. I'm leaning towards sticking with make for now, also because existing material is already written this way; and then once Hadrian is truly ready for prime time, we can rewrite the relevant parts.
Thoughts?
