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 Right, so we're in the process of discussing something very much related at https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16253. For reference, this is what 'make fast' does: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Using#Skipdependencybuilding * ./validate I'm in the process of tweaking the validate script to have an '--hadrian' mode. I'll document it as soon as it works, along the code changes, in the upcoming merge request. * make EXTRA_HC_OPTS="..." I think you can already achieve this (but it's perhaps not documented in 'make.md'), with the flavour/user settings mechanism: https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/hadrian/doc/user-settings.md (see for example the different 'userArgs' definitions). - On windows build.bat defaults to stack which I think has never worked on my box. Andrey? (cc'd him)
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.

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?
