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 don't get why you feel the need for senseless insult here. Stack was great for me as a beginner and all of the beginners I've helped learn fp. It hasn't been for you. Obviously there's something going on, and it's not that either of us are in imagination land
It's *not* an insult. It's a statement of claim. A matter of fact. Challenge it if you will. Don't appeal to me with bullshit charges of insult. I refuse to stoop to that level. Stay there if you like. I won't be following you into that trap.

Your claim is that beginners of three days get fp better than professionals of years, because some of these professionals use stack. Did I misread?

I can teach people in three days to be more proficient with FP than any process that involves stack. Put stack into that process and now we are fucked. Hence, it's not good for beginners. I did it just this week. https://blog.qfpl.io/posts/2018-perth-intro-to-fp/ … We're not there to fuck around. No stack
