    Until now, the only way to do proper Unicode sorting in Haskell was to depend on text-icu, which wraps the C library icu4c. However, there are disadvantages to depending on an external C library. In addition, the last release of text-icu was in 2015, and since then there have been changes to icu4c that cause build-failures, as noted in this issue.

    text-icu occasionally breaks horribly and nondeterministically (1, 2) despite being praised by SOTU

    regex-tdfa, a very popular library, is buggy (e.g. here) despite claiming that "This regex-tdfa package implements, correctly, POSIX extended regular expressions [and your OS likely doesn't]"; its bugs very likely won't be fixed despite the fact that the library is still maintained
