Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Stack (Haskell)" in English language version.
This blog post is intended to answer two very frequest [sic] questions about stack: how is it different from Cabal? And: Why was it developed as a separate project instead of being worked on with Cabal?
Package management with cabal is the single worst aspect of using Haskell. Asked if improvements to package management would make a difference to their future choice of Haskell for a project, 38% said it would be "crucial" and a further 29% said it would be "important". Comments connected cabal with words like hell, pain, awful, sucks, frustrating, and hideous. Only this topic showed such grave dissatisfaction.
