Haskell's power is impressive but the "Cabal hell" is a serious problem.
Recently I tried to get into Haskell. I've installed EclipseFP and the first sessions looked nice. But when I started to use external cabal modules I always ran into serious trouble with versioning. Even recompilation doesn't help a lot because there is always a complaining module.
Do I something wrong? I am thankful for advice.
- m0a0t0 13y agoYou may want to try cabal sandboxes. I think it's a similar idea to virtualenv in python
- progman 13y agoThanks, I will take a closer look at it. I hope this is a hierarchical solution so that I won't need to download the whole cabal stack for any new project.
- codygman 13y agoIt is, you won't have to download the entire stack. You might want to try this tutorial out: http://yannesposito.com/Scratch/en/blog/Holy-Haskell-Starter/ http://yannesposito.com/Scratch/en/blog/Holy-Haskell-Starter...
