  • tomcab

  • I implemented a prototype for using TOML to generate Cabal files. It's implemented enough to generate its own cabal file from package.toml. Any feedback would be appreciated here!

  • Cabal

    Official upstream development repository for Cabal and cabal-install

  • ref. https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7548

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • hpack

    hpack: A modern format for Haskell packages

  • There are ways to get around this, but it's not easy and doesnt scale: https://github.com/sol/hpack/issues/194

  • Truth

    Changes and Pinafore projects. Pull requests not accepted. (by AshleyYakeley)

  • I'm actually using YAML file includes with hpack to include a common.yaml file for settings common to multiple packages.

  • toml

    Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language

  • BTW, it seems like there are no blessed toml formatters: https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/issues/532

  • Rust Language Server

    Discontinued Repository for the Rust Language Server (aka RLS)

  • LSP support seems to be lacking as well, at least rust doesn't seem to have Cargo.toml support? https://github.com/rust-lang/rls/issues/785

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
