[Call for Contributors] *New* Cabal User Guide
Yeah, that's fair. If you look at the content outline for the new user guide nix is only mentioned in the nix interoperability section so I think your wish has already been granted? https://github.com/haskell/cabal-userguide/blob/main/src/SUMMARY.md

Would anyone be interested in hoot: A cabal wrapper for haskell based on Cargo?
Also, there's already a cabal RFC to support toml: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7548

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

Problems installing hindent witch haskell tool stack on windows 10
Given that Mike Pilgrim (the Stack maintainer) is on Windows, and Cabal has issues on Windows, I think it might be easier to get Windows specific fixes merged in Stack.

Help figuring out output from Cabal resolver
The error message is not too helpful. This is the target of a long-standing ticket: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7993 Your help would be very welcome.

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

JavaScript backend merged into GHC | IOG Engineering
We definitely plan to have benchmarks once we start working on performance. We haven't started yet because there were more urgent tasks. For example: ensuring that the testsuite runs on CI with the JS backend (should be completed this week or the next), ensuring that the toolchain works properly (we're writing a tutorial and we've found new bugs, e.g. yesterday I've fixed the support for js-sources in Cabal https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/8636), adding TH support...
