Re: [jhc] [Question] Should jhc support Cabal? Or should use only yaml?

Arguably its the other way around, as you found in the Cabal source: jhc can use whatever it wants, while it would be nice if Cabal (and hence cabal-install) supported jhc.

Whether jhc uses Cabal internally is not relevant to whether cabal supports jhc: for example, cabal supports Hugs, which does not itself support (and can't support, given how it works) cabal.

I don't understand Cabal completely. Cabal library is compiled by jhc or GHC? And jhc does not have database such as ghc-pkg. Is it easy to support Cabal without upstream developing power? Now we have yaml format. And jhc use it. It's true. Best regards, -- Kiwamu Okabe
