Re: [Haskell-cafe] Using Cabal during development

My development environment is a Screen with Bash, Vim and GHCi running. If I can just load the files in GHCi or compile them with GHC without specifying many options or extensions, then I just do it that way. As soon as I feel a need to write a Makefile or a little build script, I write a Cabal file instead and switch to using `cabal-install'. When I say "many" options or extensions, I nearly mean "any". Most projects of mine get a Cabal file at the point where I feel the need for the first `LANGUAGE' pragma. (I usually omit `LANGUAGE' pragmas, delegating to Cabal for that. I'm not sure whether this is good or bad practice.) -- Jason Dusek
