Hi, I’m a beginner when it comes to Haskell, but I guess I’m somewhat comfortable with the language itself. I’d love to try building some stuff using it. However, I’m finding it very hard to properly use external libraries/packages.
I’m familiar with Rust’s cargo, and go’s package management system, and feel very comfortable using them. Are there similar ones for Haskell? Basically, I want them defined per project, and not have to install everything system-wide. I’d like to be able to provide users with simple instructions for replicating the whole build setup.
What’s the idiomatic way? Are there any example packages that I can look at that are not too complicated?

This repo has significantly improved determinism in Haskell builds: https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix
The ones I have seen that are per-project are stack and nix, and cabal is used for system-wide
@SinTan1729@programming.dev try stack. take latest LTS snapshot from stackage. use package.yaml, don’t write *.cabal files by hand. that should be it, the rest will be cargo-like experience
