Cabal reviews and mentions

• Would anyone be interested in hoot: A cabal wrapper for haskell based on Cargo?

  Also, there's already a cabal RFC to support toml: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7548

• On the verge of giving up learning Haskell because of the terrible tooling.

  Cabal has a lot of dark corners once you stray from the happy path. Just checked and I'm currently subscribed to 37 threads on the issue tracker, and I'm not a maintainer. A lot of these are related to lesser-used features like cabal scripts, environment files and doctests (though I think all of these things would used more if they were more reliable), but there's also plenty of stupid stuff like: - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3313 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/8527 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/8391 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7789 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6888 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6999 - https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5271

• Problems installing hindent witch haskell tool stack on windows 10
  1 project | /r/haskell | 7 Apr 2023

  Given that Mike Pilgrim (the Stack maintainer) is on Windows, and Cabal has issues on Windows, I think it might be easier to get Windows specific fixes merged in Stack.

• Help figuring out output from Cabal resolver
  1 project | /r/haskell | 10 Mar 2023

  The error message is not too helpful. This is the target of a long-standing ticket: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7993 Your help would be very welcome.

• There is No “Tooling Issue” in Haskell
  6 projects | /r/haskell | 7 Mar 2023

  By the way, there are some open issues for the command to add a package in Cabal.

• Why GHCi is my new calculator
  3 projects | /r/haskell | 24 Feb 2023

  That's interesting. Could you could open a an issue about this? https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues

• Any open source projects to contribute to for beginners

• The best way to add a flag to copy documentation to given location?
  1 project | /r/haskell | 5 Feb 2023

  I created this issue a few months ago: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/8270

• Trying to figure out cabal dependency management
  1 project | /r/haskellquestions | 21 Jan 2023

  Reported this as a bug in cabal.

• JavaScript backend merged into GHC | IOG Engineering
  1 project | /r/haskell | 15 Dec 2022

  We definitely plan to have benchmarks once we start working on performance. We haven't started yet because there were more urgent tasks. For example: ensuring that the testsuite runs on CI with the JS backend (should be completed this week or the next), ensuring that the toolchain works properly (we're writing a tutorial and we've found new bugs, e.g. yesterday I've fixed the support for js-sources in Cabal https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/8636), adding TH support...
