I know that. Bumping GHC can still be relatively painful. Some language stacks are meaningfully easier on dependencies (not you Python), but can give you some other headaches (yes, you Python, damn you). Every PL in one way or another has some warts and ugly parts.

It seems the job of a senior software engineer these days is to make fun of programming languages on HN pointing out their flaws, while simultaneously keeping an eye, waiting on agents doing "thinking".

I only use Haskell in hobby projects outside of work but somewhat regularly run into problems with package bounds causing conflicts or forcing some project on to an older GHC than I'd like. It's not cabal hell since its confined to one project and not system wide, but it's definitely a pain point.
