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.

Haskell Project Template with Nix Flakes
Haskell.nix -- a more flexible but complex option from IOHK.
-
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:

Packaging DoomEmacs for guix
I have found a nix code that manages to package doom-emacs and I know it isn't the same as guix, the idea is imo quite similar.

Best way to install Doom Emacs using Home Manager?
I use this it works great.

Help with fetchTarball when installing doom emacs
let doom-emacs = pkgs.callPackage (builtins.fetchTarball { url = https://github.com/vlaci/nix-doom-emacs/archive/master.tar.gz; sha256 = "1g0izscjh5nv4n0n1m58jc6z27i9pkbxs17mnb05a83ffdbmmva6"; }) { doomPrivateDir = ./doom.d; # Directory containing your config.el init.el # and packages.el files }; in { home.packages = [ doom-emacs ]; home.file.".emacs.d/init.el".text = '' (load "default.el") ''; } ```
What are some alternatives?
