What kind of problems do you have with stack? I have never once had a problem with stack that wasn't solved by running stack upgrade. Stack is how I got started as a beginner; before that the only code I managed to run used the prelude. I am legitimately puzzled.https://twitter.com/dibblego/status/973710741860630528 …

What tools do you use to avoid specifying every version number of your dependencies?
FWIW, version numbers are another example of stringly-typed programming nonsense. This horrible idea pervades not just stack and cabal, but almost our entire software industry. Imagine a world without version numbers. What is lost?

I am intrigued by your question, and I am not really sure what is lost in a world without version numbers. I think my understanding of what version numbers are is pretty hand wavey at best. Maybe that's what you are saying is wrong with them?

Do version numbers truly describe your dependency? Is it even close? Version numbers? Some arbitrary string separated by a dot. Sit on that for a minute. This talk goes toward a solution that coincides with real requirements https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjYAnBhF2JU …

If version numbers are too stringy, would you favor some kind of type for describing the usability/ build status and possibly another type for describing required dependencies?

You are my friend :)
