alt Hacker NewsJust keep in mind that some people like me avoid Haskell and the huge package mess it causes on Linux. Pandoc is infamous for that. Just stick to C++.

Does your distro not statically link Haskell libraries the way it’s meant to? Installing pandoc only requires libgmp.

That is entirely your distribution's fault. ArchLinux has a user-hostile packaging approach which I do not experience in Fedora.

My Haskell experience on NixOS is wonderful!
I think it depends on your district. On some distros (looking at you arch!) I think GHCup and keeping things in /home and out of your system package manager is the better approach.
That said, I never had issues with Pandoc on any distribution. But I have struggled with Pandoc extensions, before I got NixOS (and flakes).
