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.

Managing issues with the Haskell Stack projects under NixOS
and need to change my stack to use a newer version of ghc that nixpkgs switched to like ghc8106. This is actually open as an issue in the stack project https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/4539. However it's more than just a stack issue, even if stack were to fix this part of the problem is haskell-language-server that runs haskell-lsp keeps updating its supported ghc versions. Fixing stack but being unable to use my development environment doesn't do me much good.

I can't find a solution to this problem involving stack install
Following the hint to https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/4510, I found https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/4897 and "Overriding GHC boot packages results in any other GHC boot packages depending on it being no longer available as a dependency".

Help getting started
There was a proposal to introduce a brokering tool to handle this communication, but the maintainer of ghcup didn't like it very much, because this adds yet another program into the mix. They would prefer it if stack would add a hooking mechanism such that users (or ghcup automatically) can change the mechanism that stack uses for installing GHC.

Automatically reloading ghci when a file changes
Have you looked into ghcid? https://github.com/ndmitchell/ghcid

Most braindead easy end to end haskell workflow?
VS Code + Haskell extension is usually best, but ghcid is an alternative which is much simpler, easier to set up, less pretty and powerful but still pretty easy and effective to use. Here's a workflow:
-
How to cabal?
In general, though, I recommend just looking at the cabal files for various libraries and executables. Something like ghcid is good, since it contains a library, an executable, and a test suite.
-
Fast way to run Haskell script from nvim?
you should also checkout the ghci vim plugin https://github.com/ndmitchell/ghcid/tree/master/plugins/nvim
-
Can't get things to work. It is normal to learn haskell with plain vim?
I just went through the same thing. I settled on using stack and ghcid. All it does is recompile on any change to source code so you at least get lightning fast feedback. Both stack and ghcid have been easy to install and use so far.
-
Why Clojure?
Have you tried out ghcid? It basically just runs ghci on your program every time you save, and gives an updated list of errors and warnings. Not interactive in the sense that you don't manually test your functions with it, but like 95% of debugging in Haskell is just fixing errors at compilation time. I find it to be a very nice developer experience. Just need a text editor and a terminal with ghcid open and you get immediate feedback as you program.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing stack and ghcid you can also consider the following projects:
Cabal - Official upstream development repository for Cabal and cabal-install
ghci-ng
ghcide - A library for building Haskell IDE tooling
castle - A tool to manage shared cabal-install sandboxes.
implicit-hie - Auto generate a stack or cabal multi component hie.yaml file
bisect-binary - Tool to determine relevant parts of binary data
ihaskell - A Haskell kernel for IPython.
hadolint - Dockerfile linter, validate inline bash, written in Haskell
bumper - Haskell tool to automatically bump package versions transitively.
profiterole - GHC prof manipulation script
extract-dependencies - Automatically finds dependencies and runs a Haskell file with stack (no cabal manifest, no stack.yaml, no project, no friction)
niv - Easy dependency management for Nix projects
