>It's sbt on Scala and ghc-pkg/cabal on Haskell that have been a pain in the ass.

And yet scala people will tell you sbt is totally fine and has no problems. Just as you pretend pip has no problems, and go has no problems, despite it being trivial to get package conflict errors in both of those.

>Cut the tu quoque bullshit, not everybody has a crappy ecosystem

No, not everybody does. You just pretend a couple do because you have an irrational dislike for those particular cases, while ignoring the fact that they are actually equally good to the languages you do like.

>Stop denying there isn't a problem. I'm far from the first person to mention the Haskell ecosystem need works.

True. And because the haskell community is tolerant to a fault, they humour trolls like you, and try to find ways to make a perfect packaging system. But the reality of course is that all the packaging systems are 95% identical, and the 5% isn't making a difference.

>My REAL isn't ghc-pkg and cabal, but rather that I keep running into crazed partisans like you that won't admit there's a problem. You're the problem.

Yes, obviously I broke your packages and made you troll haskell articles like a petulant child. I had nearly forgotten about doing that, I am quite sorry. To make it up to you, I'll let you give an actual, real example of a problem cabal presents that doesn't happen with python. Ready? Go!
