I like the idea of Unison. Would be good to see a normal language using hashed functions to avoid recompilation.
- argiopetech 2y agoCabal has never treated me poorly, though broken packages do happen (usually due to unnecessarily restrictive upper version bounds on libraries - unpack and fix the .cabal, add directory as extra-dep, move on with your day). For the last long while, though, Stackage (versioned repository of packages that build together under a fixed computer version) and stack fix this problem. It's one of the things I miss when I use other packages/build managers from other languages.
