Hey, I have a question to haskell development using nixos and stack.
Currently I have to add - - nix to every stack invocation, or add enable: true in stack.yaml. The latter is generally not usable because collaborating with people who don't have nix can't compile the project anymore.
But I can only use the current haskell-ide-engine if it is enabled in the yaml, otherwise it tries to download a whole new ghc
Can somebody explain what the preferred way of haskell and nix development is?
