@feld good question!
i think we automatically package all #haskell packages from #hackage and some #stackage (18k) and all #Rpackages from #CRAN (27k)
the manually packaged python and perl libs are available for multiple versions. the supported ones are visible, older still work
check out the package sets on the left https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=*
that blows up the number! we don't have ancient, unmaintained packages found in debian, but modern ones like in #AUR

Last week I submitted a new version of my currycarbon #haskell library to #hackage (see https://archaeo.social/@ClemensSchmid/111517617941502770). I made a mistake in the setup of my golden tests, which prevented the package from building on #stackage. @alaendle observed the issue, contacted me, explained the problem and answered my questions on GitHub. It was a very kind and professional exchange (see https://github.com/nevrome/currycarbon/issues/17).
I was astonished how well this was handled and wanted to share the experience 💗

Recently I released my old #utility I personally was using for last few years called “place-cursor-at” written in #Haskell (built on top of #X11 #Xlib). It helps to move your mouse cursor around your screens to specific approximate positions. Generally it helps to use the keyboard more and less the mouse.
It was released on #Hackage and #Stackage. And now it’s also available in #Nix and #NixOS 20.09. Give it a try:
nix-shell -p place-cursor-at --run place-cursor-at
