Haskell is considered too theoretical by many, but Bryan, Don, and John, begged to differ by writing Real World Haskell. The book was written in collaboration with over 800 online commenters and released back to the public for free.

The book was such a success that it is still read by newcomers eighteen years later, but it is starting to show its age. So, I have now converted it to markdown and started modernizing it.

Hi, I'm a beginner when it comes to Haskell, but I guess I'm somewhat comfortable with the language itself. I'd love to try building some stuff using it. However, I'm finding it very hard to properly use external libraries/packages.

I'm familiar with Rust's cargo, and go's package management system, and feel very comfortable using them. Are there similar ones for Haskell? Basically, I want them defined per project, and not have to install everything system-wide. I'd like to be able to provide users with simple instructions for replicating the whole build setup.

What's the idiomatic way? Are there any example packages that I can look at that are not too complicated?
