With #haskell you spend more time on figuring out how to do basic things like "how do I add C preprocessor flags to my project?" than how to do advanced things like "how do I use this domain algebra".
At least this is my experience.

Speaking of which. I need a very simple conditional compilation for my prototype project (see picture).
If someone on #fediverse knows how to do it in #haskell WITHOUT MANUALLY EDITING .CABAL file, it would be much appreciated.
@jonn Oh god! What is this? unsafePerformIO, my eyes hurt. I’m loosing the context, what are you actually trying to do?
But also, it's a testament to #haskell in a way.
Yes, the ecosystem often shoots you in a shoulder, but I literally spent over ten years with haskell actively avoiding CPP feature and was reasonably productive.
