I'm starting to use stack for the one thing I do in Haskell. Is it really true that all you need is the stack binary? No shared libraries or anything? When I set it up starting from Ubuntu packages, the process was still convoluted and involved bootstrapping from an older version of ghc.

It seems true on OS X and Linux. I'm not sure if it's 100% statically linked, or if it depends on a particular version of glibc on Linux. Edit: I would check, but I'm not close to a linux box. I haven't tried it on Windows. The download instructions say it depends on libffi, libgmp and zlib, which I didn't realise, plus some other tools (gcc, etc.) which I assume are for building packages that wrap C libraries. http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/#linux http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/#...
