    Haskell is used in industries like finance (e.g., Standard Chartered), blockchain (e.g., Cardano), and academia. Tools like Stack simplify project management, while libraries like Yesod enable web development.

    Thanks! So it seems to be not packages, but templates, and this comment suggests it wasn't GitHub doing the rate limiting after all: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/4979#issue...

    > Every other language I've used allows you to build code without authenticating to a remote service.

    Sure, the problem here wasn't "building". It was downloading a package template (which one doesn't tend to do 60 times per hour). I agree packages shouldn't be fetched from GitHub.

    Ah, didn't run into this issue, as I don't use vscode.

    Apparently there is some work being done to improve the stack <> hls experience, but I wouldn't know how it's going and when it's being delivered: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/6154

    Fair enough! Thanks for the suggestion, then. In fact, the non-Python language I develop most in (Haskell, with the Stack package manager) has exactly that behaviour as a default: new packages are installed to a sandboxed local directory, and it takes an explicit request to install something globally. (And even then, you can switch between different global "known good configurations" of package versions which work well together โ€“ a pretty handy feature.)

    In YAML configuration files, the hackage-security key of the package-index key or the package-indices item can be omitted, and the Hackage Security configuration for the item will default to that for the official Hackage server. See #5870.
