The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

-
Simple GHC stack for a novice
You can baptize yourself by either moving a sufficiently complex Haskell codebase to Nix or building a website using something like Ema (with full Nix+Flakes support!)
-
Junior developer looking for a Haskell codebase to work on and a mentor to help me
Also, I'm willing to mentor anyone who is interested in improving Ema or Emanote.
-
Haskell Open Source Projects I thought could use some exposure
Clarification: Emanote is a successor to Neuron, and written on top of Ema.
-
What do you use Haskell for in your daily computer usage?
I maintain an extended version of Emanote in Haskell (as an Ema app) that does custom stuff like visualize my hledger transactions, track time, generate invoice and provide custom views of my Markdown notebook, like a Twitter-like timeline generated from H2 headings (with date) from across notes.
- can you recommend active Haskell open source projects?

Why does Nix have Haskell packages that are incompatible with GHC for a given version?
I'm not a great haskeller but I found haskell.nix better for Haskell projects, like the commenter on Discourse suggested. I've had a few issued regarding package versions with nixpkgs that haskell.nix solved.
-
Simple GHC stack for a novice
FWIW, there's also libraries like haskell.nix that solve the caching problem.
-
Any up-to-date cross-compiling methods for Raspberry Pi?
I would try haskell.nix.
-
Take the Nix Pill
If you want to hurt your brain, check out haskell.nix. That's some good stuff right there ^^
-
Trying to build a statically linked binary against glibc (Linux)
The haskell.nix framework is good for this.
-
GHC 9.4.1 Windows changes
One cool thing is that this will enable GHC builds using ucrt instead of vscrt in the future. Concretely, together with NixOS/nixpkgs#171418 and its follow-up NixOS/nixpkgs#173498), this will e.g. allow haskell.nix to upgrade to a newer wine pin for TH cross compilation: https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix/blob/dd13e822529ae5342494969bce8a457522a60100/overlays/wine.nix

How to make stack work like it's supposed to
I've been using IOHK's alternative infrastructure for this reason. It has its quirks but I've been happier with it. Before that I think I was using developPackage from the nixpkgs haskell tooling which had some introspection ability. You may consider trying that out. But as I remember this will not abide by your version bounds.

Announcing `safe-coloured-text`
There's a lot to like here. Alas, despite minimal dependencies, terminfo is somehow uniquely problematic in haskell.nix.
- A question about the current state of Haskell running natively on Apple silicon:
-
Memory from finished thread is not getting reclaimed
If you are somewhat comfortable with nix: https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix supports GHCJS 8.10.x (in particular 8.10.7).
What are some alternatives?
