cabal is as cargo-level but has a bad CLI. it really isn't that bad. and Haskell has amazing Nix support. Like 3 different good options there depending on your project.

and this isn't even to mention stack..

now, if you're a not smart enough to handle there being many options existing in a world of trade-offs..haskell was never for you :)

"haskell user smart". Condescend much?

And Haskell baking itself to Nix, also not sure if that is a good option. Try compiling that on say OpenBSD or FreeBSD.

Haskell doesn't bake itself to Nix at all. Nix just happens to have multiple pretty mature and usable libraries for packaging Haskell.
