Excited to see this. yesod devel is convenient and I use it constantly. It's a
bit of a CPU hog though. My projects large and the relinking on every save
sips a lot of juice.

Will yesod devel continue to work with cabal files? I've a fairly large set of
dependencies and have not managed to get these fulfilled by stack release.

This will only work on a project that has a stack.yaml file. Though to clarify: even in Stack project, we still use .cabal files.

You should be able to get the same solver behavior as with cabal if you do something along the lines of:

stack init --resolver ghc-7.10.3 --solver

Obviously replacing 7.10.3 with whichever version of GHC you want to use.
