is it possible to mix and match libraries that I can get to build with haskell4nix and ones I can get to build with haskell.nix

What is Haskell4nix?
<angerman>
So conceptually you *could* mix and match, but you’d need to make sure the compilers match up. And with haskell.nix shipping its own (patched) compiles, this might get tricky fast.

haskell.nix is an alternative Haskell infrastructure for Nix1.
<DigitalKiwi>
the other one ;)

DigitalKiwi: How many alternatives exist?
<DigitalKiwi>
shapr: presumably...at least 3? i think haskell4nix replaced an older one? and then this one (haskell.nix)

saw somewhere that the nixpkgs one is a "ng"
<__monty__>
I've only seen the haskell4nix "brand" on the readthedocs. But yes the haskell infra currently in Nixpkgs is already kind of a v2.0.

howdy, im having trouble getting started with haskell.nix, ive followed the guide but i cant get it going, is it ok if i asked some very beginner questions here?
<jackdk>
general IRC etiquette is to ask your question, not ask to ask your question, so I'd say so
<jackdk>
welcome, BTW
<__monty__>
jesystani: What jackdk said, it's also known as DATAJA. Due to the asynchronous nature of many IRC channels it saves a lot of time if you just ask your questions : )
<__monty__>
I'm personally interested in improving documentation so I'd be really interested to hear where the friction is.
<__monty__>
Late for me now though but I'd gladly help you get set up tomorrow. nn, peoples
<jackdk>
__monty__: one styling issue in the getting started page: if you don't scroll the code block all the way to the right it's hard to notice that the import of haskell.nix returns a function so you need an `{}` after it. I lost a good few minutes on that one
<jackdk>

<__monty__>
Oh, not sure I can change the styling, think it's something like readthedocs? I'll look into it though, if nothing else I can add some wording along the lines or rewrite the example with a let for the url.
