ghcup

A rewrite of ghcup in haskell.

Motivation

Maintenance problems:

Benefits of a rewrite:

  • Features such as installing release candidates or HEAD builds can be more conveniently implemented in a rewrite
  • Refactoring will be easier
  • Better tool support (such as linting the downloads file)
  • saner downloads file format (such as JSON)

Downsides:

  • building static binaries for all platforms (and possibly causing SSL/DNS problems)
  • still bootstrapping those binaries via a POSIX sh script

Goals

  • Correct low-level code
  • Good exception handling
  • Cleaner user interface
