@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

@dpwiz @haskman as I said, this is stackage. (See haskman's argument about curation). If you squat, you get kicked.
But yeah, #haskell needed #stackage because of #cabalHell, whereas #purescript has both #nix integration and #dhall / #spago combo wombo, which is a less known "nix for language ecosystems".
But if this website (which I didn't understand beyond "I am certain I don't need this") provides `go get`-like experience, then it will be very good for beginners.

I'm back at #Haskell. I've just managed to use #stackage and #stack.
I like the inevitability of the compile time in this language. When writing in #Python or #Ruby it often feels like the compile time shouldn't actually happen. But it nonetheless sneaks in a lot. Either with #Dockerfiles that need to be build or assets:precompile jobs, etc., etc.

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
