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.

Friendship ended with Monads: Testing out Algebraic effects in OCaml for Animations
I would argue that the fact that not all monads compose is a feature, not a bug, in that not all effects are compatible. Citing from in-other-words:

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.

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?
When comparing in-other-words and haskell.nix you can also consider the following projects:
ghc - Mirror of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. Please submit issues and patches to GHC's Gitlab instance (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc). First time contributors are encouraged to get started with the newcomers info (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/contributing).
Cabal - Official upstream development repository for Cabal and cabal-install
eff - 🚧 a work in progress effect system for Haskell 🚧
nix-doom-emacs - doom-emacs packaged for Nix
frp-zoo - Comparing many FRP implementations by reimplementing the same toy app in each.
static-haskell-nix - easily build most Haskell programs into fully static Linux executables
eveff - Efficient Haskell effect handlers based on evidence translation.
polysemy - :gemini: higher-order, no-boilerplate monads
fused-effects - A fast, flexible, fused effect system for Haskell
nixpkgs - Nix Packages collection & NixOS
