Stack has three things I find useful for teaching: one tool for everything, a "new" scaffolding, and --file-watch.
@dibblego lobbied against monolithic tools (so ghcid instead of --file-watch), but this to me is a professional Haskell concern, not someone just learning fresh.

I prefer Nix for professional Haskell work, even though curation of packages is not perfect. If we're going to say Stack is a mistake for teaching Haskell, I'd really like to know exactly what bad happens to the student.

Stack was such a massive improvement over what came before. If it's a mistake for teaching, that's a very recent fact.

I have respect for
@dibblego. I've come around to his position many times in the past. So it's totally frustrating when he goes off on these anti-Stack bends and I just can't track the argument.2 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -

No argument was made. Also, you're wrong. It's not recent. It's an opinion shared by many; in particular, those who are committed to teaching effectively.

it's just experience: "hey Brian so I tried to use Stack and I'm getting this weird problem..." over and over and over

It's the ultimate appeal to emotion when you find yourself surrounded by bullshit. "Think of the children/beginners."

Stack is not a teaching tool as such. Stack is used as a tool to avoid teaching one thing in order to teach another. Not a great place to be in. I'm okay with people pointing out flaws in tools even ones I happen to use.

I would accept this argument, if it were true. Stack is an impediment to learning the actual material. It does nothing else but impede. Ignoring the mechanism by which this occurs, the results also demonstrate this matter of fact.
