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 …

In short, stack over-specialises for the unlikely case, for a claimed benefit that doesn't actually exist. I am sympathetic toward beginners trying to get started, but stack is definitely not helping, even though those same beginners will claim otherwise. Progress is stunted.

What tools do you use to avoid specifying every version number of your dependencies?

Nix has been on my radar for years but it seems like a big endeavor to learn, and I still haven't had a chance to use it at work. I also consistently hear complaints about the user experience from people who use it.

There are complaints about nix. Stack (et al) is worst of all worlds. Nobody is aiming for perfection, just practical application within existing limitations. The busted discussion around stack perpetuates these limitations. I cannot possibly bust it any more, even though I try
