I just read this whole thread.. im desperate to be convinced I don't need stack like I don't need spacemacs to use emacs, but after reading all this I still have no idea of any argument against it except feelsies. Some reason and rationale would solve these tensions I am sure.

yeah, it's just feelsies, k

group a: stack never works for anyone group b: it actually works pretty great for us (this is the extent of the "debate")

group a: it doesn't work group b: but it works on my machine! group a: *eyeroll*

Can you please define "doesn't work"? We use it in our company, so it seems to work on my machine, on all of my colleagues machines, on out CI, CD... I am not entirely happy with it, but it's not that "it doesn't work"...

The thread has a few points, but they are hard to find with Twitter's UI: https://twitter.com/shajra/status/992826981673775106?s=19 …https://twitter.com/pasiphae_goals/status/993369424395755520?s=19 …

Though there are (much worse) examples for nix too -https://twitter.com/ajnsit/status/992706106232320000 …

Correct. All the build tools are busted. Let's not pretend that stack "makes it easier", when in fact, it does not.
