Why We Built a Haskell Package Manager in Rust

simonmic:

Maybe we can have a bit more substantive discussion over here

Both the supposed alternatives for Cabal and GHC (hx, bhc) were LLM-generated by a single user over the course of several months by pushing straight to main with failing Github Actions tests. bhc’s API documentation is outright slop yanked from GHC and it claims it has addressed a whole bunch of longstanding Haskell concerns with no issues opened, no pull requests and presumably zero active users.

This has about as much to do with Haskell as pasture mud has to do with human food. Reposting these kinds of articles should be a bannable offense.

Oh, also there’s a “try it” curl at the end of the article that could well be a malicious link.
