stack VS ghcup-hs

In YAML configuration files, the hackage-security key of the package-index key or the package-indices item can be omitted, and the Hackage Security configuration for the item will default to that for the official Hackage server. See #5870.

Yes, that is correct. Stack's allow-newer: true configuration has always actually meant 'ignore bounds'. However, the author of the allow-newer-deps development has in mind a further development that will introduce an actual ignore-bounds key with the same expressive syntax that is used by Cabal. This is discussed at Stack #5910.

You can download binaries for this pre-release from: Release rc/v2.9.2.1 (release candidate) · commercialhaskell/stack · GitHub.

I'm trying to use the cabal mixins feature to automatically replace every implicit prelude import with a custom prelude (in this case relude). apparently it doesn't play well with `stack repl` https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/5077 but I don't really use it anyway.

stack build --coverage will generate a unified coverage report, even if there is only one *.tix file, in case a package has tested the library of another package that has not tested its own library. See #5713

You can download binaries for this pre-release from: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/releases/tag/rc/v2.9.0.1.

The background to the reason why the default log level for Stack's script interpreter is 'error' can be found here: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1472. Originally it was 'silent', but it was later increased to 'error'.

Funny that you say this, because stack used to clone the entire repository for each subdir, causing massive clone times that made it impossible to use for cardano projects: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/5411

If you want a solid understanding of FP and not just FP in Scala, I highly recommend installing GHCup and working through Haskell Programming From First Principles. Then I would work through Scala With Cats, Essential Effects, and Practical FP in Scala for how all of that maps onto Scala.

Follow the instructions here: GHCup

This is the first release that was executed via the new GitHub CI. Everything went smoothly, except for an unexpected packaging bug on windows due to text-2.0 linking against libstdc++ by default.

https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/ is the easiest way to get set up. It supports Windows installation through Powershell, or you can use the linux instructions to install it in WSL. There’s a slight performance impact to WSL, but especially for starting out just choose whichever environment is most comfortable.

In my opinion, you should preferably use Ubuntu WSL2 on Windows. https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-on-wsl2-on-windows-10#1-overview LInks to install Haskell is https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/"
