Stack is a tool to build Haskell projects and manage their dependencies. It uses the Cabal library but with a curated version of the Hackage repository called Stackage.[3][4]
Stack competes against Cabal's binary cabal-install[5] and has been created as a result of the overall criticism about dependency problems.[6] It does not, however, provide its own package format, but uses existing *.cabal
files and complements projects with an additional stack.yaml
file.
