Development
Stack
-
first time build takes a long time (you can fix your home to use the same LTS)
-
nix
integration works but only for system dependencies -
haskell nixpkgs is not re-used
Cabal
There is no advantage to use cabal
(unless you are a library author).
Compare to stack
:
-
no integration with the known good package set given by Stackage.
-
building the first time takes as much time
-
the nix integration is worse (doesn’t find system library out of the box)
-
tool integration is usually worse
-
haskell nixpkgs is not re-used
-
eternal confusion with cabal build, cabal new-build, …
