Comment (by essandess):

 Replying to [comment:2 nickgaya]:
 > Is there a recommended replacement for {{{haskell-platform}}}? I know
 very little about the Haskell ecosystem.

 Yes, use {{{stack}}} or {{{cabal}}}. For example, see the ports
 {{{alex}}}, {{{happy}}}, {{{hscolour}}}, and so forth.

 There may be edge case reasons for resurrecting specific Haskell libraries
 in the Haskell platform to use with {{{ghc}}}, but for the most part this
 approach is very fragile and difficult to maintain. This is why everyone
 uses {{{stack}}} and/or {{{cabal}}}.
