I think rio looks very reasonable, it just reuses common libs. foundation
is a cool project but they e.g. implement their own text type which
probably means you will have to do conversions as soon as you try to use
other libs. base-noprelude is only useful if you want to avoid having
access to the default prelude and/or if you want to create your own. classy
prelude seems a bit overkill, the author later released rio so i’m not sure
if classy should be considered deprecated.

Hi all,
I've been looking for a different Prelude to, at minimum, default to Text instead of String but I'm sure there are other things that would be helpful. E.g., less focus on lists.
I had a look at [1] and protolude, classy-prelude, basic-prelude, foundation, safe-prelude, and rio all seem interesting. Maybe even base-noprelude?
I'm an advanced beginner (I don't think I qualify as intermediate yet). Going by [1], classy-prelude might not be such a good idea because of "scary error messages". And, I'm guessing, I would need to know Haskell better to take advantage of base-noprelude?
I would like to know your thoughts/suggestions/opinions/ideas. Also, if there are other preludes that might be of interest, do tell!
Cheers, Hilco
