Is stack really a package manager? It seems to me that it's more of a build manager, delegating package management to cabal/stackage.

- nilkn 10y agoI see your point, but I'm not sure if it matters. Stack might be built on top of cabal, but I never use cabal directly at all anymore, and stack cleanly addresses a lot of problems that you'll run into if you exclusively use cabal-install for package management. Stack actively installs packages and dependencies on your system.
