Cabal Repl vs Stack Repl
Developers should use Cabal Repl when working on Haskell projects that use Cabal for dependency management and building, as it provides a convenient way to interactively test code snippets, inspect types, and debug functions within the context of the entire project meets developers should use stack repl when working on haskell projects with stack to quickly test functions, debug code, or explore libraries without compiling entire projects. Here's our take.
Cabal Repl
Developers should use Cabal Repl when working on Haskell projects that use Cabal for dependency management and building, as it provides a convenient way to interactively test code snippets, inspect types, and debug functions within the context of the entire project
Cabal Repl
Nice PickDevelopers should use Cabal Repl when working on Haskell projects that use Cabal for dependency management and building, as it provides a convenient way to interactively test code snippets, inspect types, and debug functions within the context of the entire project
Pros
- +It is particularly useful during development phases for rapid prototyping, verifying module imports, and experimenting with library APIs without needing to compile the entire project repeatedly
- +Related to: haskell, cabal
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Stack Repl
Developers should use Stack Repl when working on Haskell projects with Stack to quickly test functions, debug code, or explore libraries without compiling entire projects
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for iterative development, learning Haskell syntax, and verifying behavior in a controlled environment that mirrors the project's dependency setup
- +Related to: haskell, stack-build-tool
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Cabal Repl if: You want it is particularly useful during development phases for rapid prototyping, verifying module imports, and experimenting with library apis without needing to compile the entire project repeatedly and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Stack Repl if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for iterative development, learning haskell syntax, and verifying behavior in a controlled environment that mirrors the project's dependency setup over what Cabal Repl offers.
Developers should use Cabal Repl when working on Haskell projects that use Cabal for dependency management and building, as it provides a convenient way to interactively test code snippets, inspect types, and debug functions within the context of the entire project
