Build script with dbus using stack
I followed the instructions on this post, which sets ~/.xmonad as a stack project. I set xmonad-log (also tried with haskell-dbus) in the stack.yml as an extra-dep However, it is not working for me.

Updating a module in xmobar
As an aside, you should use the bar you're most comfortable with. Sure most people use xmobar, but the point of xmonad is that you can create your favourite computing environment :) If you prefer polybar then it's not terribly hard to get it to work with xmonad. You can either send what you want down a pipe and let polybar read from that pipe or you can use something like xmonad-dbus to let them talk via dbus.

Could someone help me understand this PP syntax? (It's working, I just don't understand it)
This is in my configuration, pasted from some snippet I found on xmonad-log's repo, twisted and made worse with my influence. (https://github.com/xintron/xmonad-log)

Can't find module 'DBus'
I think you don't have xmonad-log installed in your system. It is a haskel library that helps to comunicate with DBus servise in your linux distribution. Try this solution xmonad-log and then recompile xmonad.
