It is a sophisticated tool that tries to solve the tooling problem Haskell is facing.</p> <h2>Pros</h2><ul><p><li>Defines set of packages that work together.</li></p><p><li>Can handle external dependencies, such as opengl when used in nix mode.</li></p><p><li>Provides support for Docker.</li></p><p><li>Avoids package version dependency conflicts. However, it does not solve the diamond problem.</li></p><p><li>Can build a custom hoogle index for your project to query available packages in your project.</li></p><p><li>Can use <code>package.yaml</code> files instead of the classic <code>.cabal</code> file</li></p></ul><h2>Cons</h2><ul><p><li>Can not share the same compiled packages over multiple projects.</li></p></ul>
