5+=haskell.nix= is an experimental new builder for Haskell packages.
6+
7+It works by automatically translating your Cabal or Stack project and
8+its dependencies into Nix code. Most of your dependencies are already
9+translated, so you generally won't have too much generated code.
10+

27+- [[https://github.com/input-output-hk/nix-tools][nix-tools]] — provides the programs for generating Nix expressions from
28+ Haskell projects.
29+
30+- [[https://github.com/input-output-hk/hackage.nix][hackage.nix]] — the latest contents of the [[https://hackage.haskell.org/][Hackage]] databases,
31+ converted to Nix expressions.
