Haskell - when .cabal files change

Why opt for Nix when developping a software project instead of language-specific alternatives (such as Stack or GHCup for Haskell)?

This tutorial will guide you through using Nix to simplify the workflow of incorporating Rust library as a dependency in your Haskell project via FFI. If you are new to Nix and Flakes, we recommend starting with the Nix Tutorial Series.

This is a tutorial series on nixifying Haskell projects. In part 1, we will begin with using nothing but nixpkgs. In the latter parts, we’ll use simplifiy our project Nix code through haskell-flake which builds on top of the Haskell infrastructure in nixpkgs.^*

Sridhar Ratnakumar will demonstrate the delights of using Nix to develop Rust as well as Haskell projects without needing to do any manual global setup on your system. We’ll start from a pristine macOS machine as well as a pristine Linux machine to get our development environment up and running in no time, all the way up to LSP support in VSCode.
