jj's auto staging isn't always desirable. I feel jj docs and evangelists should make clearer that it's easy to turn off by default, by adding this to ~/.jjconfig: [snapshot] auto-track = "none()"

That's a very clear up-to-date intro, great work.

stack does generally have better UX. cabal hasn't supplanted it (and won't). But each has their strengths, the right tool for the right job.

It's not just you. There are a ton of resources of different kinds and freshness, and they're hard for a newcomer to find and evaluate quickly, so luck enters into it. Please also try: https://joyful.com/Haskell+mi

I don't question your experience but I think this is not a great example of that. That was a random HN commenter, not Haskell's community (which is quite large and diverse).

A nice writeup. Here's a simple hack in this direction. In an issue tracker like github's, add "bug" or "wish" labels to all issues (except the few which turn out to be neither, eg support requests). "Bugs

If those multiple people are updating the files via VCS, or via UIs that enforce append-only updates, it's still reasonably fine.

Great work and writeup! The fact that the "coins" bounce when you "catch" them creates the most dissonance for me. (At the start.) What is the roguelite (roguelike ?) / vampire / survivor element ? I don't

Do any of these guard against an empty value on either side ? "export PATH=$DIR:$PATH - That particular pattern is way too common, and is very dangerous if you consider the case when [$DIR or] $PATH (or whatever your variable is, like

Sounds bad. Is that reproducible today I wonder.

You may be right, and I think jujutsu or a fork of it is the most likely contender.

At a certain point darcs was fixed to make the exponential merge case much more rare, though it has never been entirely removed. At least from that point on, it has always been possible to use darcs productively just by avoiding or working

- Easy and robust undo. - Intuitive, simpler (but still general and powerful) UI.

It's great, but I switched to watchexec for its easier CLI. (But mac users, watch out for https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec/issues/864 , hopefully fixed soon.)

A very useful list, thanks! I hope you'll keep updating it. I guessed the date(s) indicated the tool's approximate period of active development, but apparently not ? Eg watchexec says "2016-2019" but had a major release

“atrocious” ? I don’t think that’s any Haskeller’s experience. We can point to a few things we’d like to be different for modern Haskell dev, which are slow to improve because of legacy etc, and a certain fragmentation across different pack

That wiki page is very old. But yes, some such list is still needed for now, because people keep wondering about it.

Loved this old-school site. Click around the buttons to find more, like https://www.usdebtclock.org/energy.html and https://www.usdebtclock.org/money-history/money-timeline1100... . As a geek, I wonder

The features/goals sound great, thank you! These stood out for me as possibly limiting/offputting for wide general use: - Not being able to generate files in the same directories as input files, or in multiple output directories -

PTA does give you a lot of flexibility, sometimes too much. More guidance/opinion on this is probably needed. https://plaintextaccounting.org/Organising-files talks about it a little. Also if you make it to any of the

PSA for those interested in trying jujutsu, but not ready to have it auto-track all files in working copy: you can disable that in ~/.jjconfig.toml: [snapshot] auto-track = "none()"

It's great, and uniquely works with Ledger, hledger or beancount. But probably best if you're starting from scratch; making it work with existing data is harder. Fava is also very good (for Beancount; hledger can export to it). hl
