Cabal newbuild is quite nice. For newbs stack is fine. But I genuinely question any serious code base that needs stack. Genuine cabal hell hasn’t existed since around 2010. And the mini purgatory that some people call hell is impossivle with cabal new build. My perspective is perhaps biased, but I also am comaintainer of widely used libraries used literally everywhere plus I’ve done commercial and recreation and research flavors haskell dev for over a decade, currently at a fortune 10ish sized company. Though zooming out: these days I tell learners they should try everything out, and revisit various tools as their mastery grows. For industrial / large prjects that want pinned deps, I’ve seen folks happy with the mafia build tool or even going full nix for end to end os level reproducible build and config. My main issue with workflows like those centered around stack is that I’ve seen a lot of folks just not think about library versions and deps as part of their library/application foot print. And this has various consequences in how they engineer and upgrade their own libraries and applications.
