Re: [Haskell-cafe] [HF-discuss] Do something about Cabal?

Hi! I have not done any serious programming in Haskell (although at some point I would love to 😄) , I am interested in this topic, because this is one of the first obstacles of using it... I wonder if it's possible to appropriate GNU Guix as the distribution channel of many libraries. I heard it is now an experimental package in Debian😄 https://packages.debian.org/experimental/guix (FYI - After experimenting with both NixOS and Guix recently and I decided to favor Guix - but I notice Stack already has Integration with Nix?) And here is the Guix packaging guide I found for Python https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Python-Modules.html Cheers, Yasu

Psst https://hackage.haskell.org/package/dhall-to-cabal :)

I think the missing piece here is making a frontend that transparently turns Dhall to Cabal syntax and runs cabal-install, so you don't have to keep regenerating files.
