It's been a long time since I last used #haskell, I'm putting together code for my talk.
I'm finding it interesting that it's the semantics I remember but the syntax and definitely the tools & libraries that I'm having to look up.

Let me know if you'd like any help with cabal or libraries.

"cabal install -f" seems to be how things are done nowdays. So I think I'm on the right track, but thanks for the offer!

I'd recommend trying out the new way of installing things, ie. `cabal new-install` and `cabal new-freeze` - cabal's old way of doing it was prone to terrible non-deterministic builds that caused no-end of pain: haskell.org/cabal/users-gu

I also recommend cabal new-build (and new-test, new-bench, new-run, and so on).

Any reason why they don't freeze by default? Really like having lockfiles initialized automatically with Cargo. 🙄
