Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

RFC: cabal add
This is a planned feature, but will take a while due to the exactprint prerequisite. In the meantime you could try https://github.com/sdiehl/cabal-edit

Why doesn't Haskell have a package manager?
I just found some more info: this functionality is provided by the third party cabal-edit tool. This is the specific issue that tracks the integration of that functionality into cabal itself. One of the problems of the cabal-edit tool is that it sometimes messes up your cabal files. We need the exact-printing to avoid that.

On the verge of giving up learning Haskell because of the terrible tooling.
Cabal has a lot of dark corners once you stray from the happy path. Just checked and I'm currently subscribed to 37 threads on the issue tracker, and I'm not a maintainer. A lot of these are related to lesser-used features like cabal scripts, environment files and doctests (though I think all of these things would used more if they were more reliable), but there's also plenty of stupid stuff like: - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3313 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/8527 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/8391 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7789 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6888 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6999 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5271

There is No “Tooling Issue” in Haskell
By the way, there are some open issues for the command to add a package in Cabal.

Why GHCi is my new calculator
That's interesting. Could you could open a an issue about this? https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues

dr-cabal v0.2.0.0: Interactive output + critical path computation
At the moment, cabal-install doesn't support hpack natively but if the project can be build with cabal-install, you can run hpack manually to produce the .cabal file and utilise dr-cabal after that :)

Failure with cabal v2-test
Hm thanks for that, could try out some of those ideas. Here's the github issue i opened for this: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/8580

Haskell adoption is higher than I expected, what can we do to get it to top 10 languages.
Would really love it if the Cabal documentation had this as its own, highly visible entry. I submitted a pull request to that end.

Monthly Hask Anything (September 2022)
Sometimes cabal's output is confusing with regards to optimization levels: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6221

Just released: cabal 3.8.1.0
Direct link to changelog: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/master/release-notes/cabal-install-3.8.1.0.md
For example, this linked issue describes what appears to be a change, but is how I thought cabal already worked, so now I'm confused.
