Haskell.nix Alternatives

haskell.nix reviews and mentions

• Why does Nix have Haskell packages that are incompatible with GHC for a given version?
  3 projects | /r/haskell | 29 Dec 2022

  I'm not a great haskeller but I found haskell.nix better for Haskell projects, like the commenter on Discourse suggested. I've had a few issued regarding package versions with nixpkgs that haskell.nix solved.

• Simple GHC stack for a novice

  FWIW, there's also libraries like haskell.nix that solve the caching problem.

• Any up-to-date cross-compiling methods for Raspberry Pi?
  3 projects | /r/haskell | 20 Sep 2022

  I would try haskell.nix.

• Take the Nix Pill

  If you want to hurt your brain, check out haskell.nix. That's some good stuff right there ^^

• Trying to build a statically linked binary against glibc (Linux)

  The haskell.nix framework is good for this.

• GHC 9.4.1 Windows changes

  One cool thing is that this will enable GHC builds using ucrt instead of vscrt in the future. Concretely, together with NixOS/nixpkgs#171418 and its follow-up NixOS/nixpkgs#173498), this will e.g. allow haskell.nix to upgrade to a newer wine pin for TH cross compilation: https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix/blob/dd13e822529ae5342494969bce8a457522a60100/overlays/wine.nix

• How to make stack work like it's supposed to
  1 project | /r/NixOS | 23 May 2022

  I've been using IOHK's alternative infrastructure for this reason. It has its quirks but I've been happier with it. Before that I think I was using developPackage from the nixpkgs haskell tooling which had some introspection ability. You may consider trying that out. But as I remember this will not abide by your version bounds.

• Announcing `safe-coloured-text`
  1 project | /r/haskell | 7 Feb 2022

  There's a lot to like here. Alas, despite minimal dependencies, terminfo is somehow uniquely problematic in haskell.nix.

• A question about the current state of Haskell running natively on Apple silicon:

• Memory from finished thread is not getting reclaimed
  7 projects | /r/haskell | 9 Sep 2021

  If you are somewhat comfortable with nix: https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix supports GHCJS 8.10.x (in particular 8.10.7).
