What Python Can Learn from Haskell Packaging

Explore the evolution of packaging in Haskell and its potential lessons for Python in this conference talk from EuroPython 2016. Delve into the Haskell community's journey from "Cabal hell" to game-changing tools like Stack and Nix language. Compare and contrast Python's packaging evolution since distutils in 1999 with Haskell's recent improvements. Examine Cabal's interesting features, the community's frustrations, and how Stack addresses these issues. Investigate the use of Nix language for automating Haskell packaging and its potential application to Python. Gain insights into declarative approaches and infrastructure overrides that could benefit Python's packaging ecosystem.
