Users of Stack and Nix: seeking feeback on sensible defaults
Haskell Community [Unofficial]
March 20, 2026
Hello @mpilgrem,
As a user on NixOS and former maintainer of HaskellR (stack + nix project), I don’t feel strong about these defaults.
More radically, is anyone actually using Stack’s Nix integration?
HaskellR still uses the integration, but I think it would be easy enough to replace it with
nix-shell --run “stack --system-ghc build”
if it were dropped.
