Imagine being able to install binary distributions of your favourite #Haskell tools:
$ ghcup install pandoc
$ ghcup install hlint
$ ghcup install fourmolu
$ ghcup install shellcheck
Well, imagine no more! GHCup 0.2.0.0 will bring a new installer DSL to allow third-party projects to maintain their distribution channel! The more feedback the better!

@haskell@fosstodon.org The next step could be Agda, which is implemented in Haskell. That would be really helpful.

@haskell@fosstodon.org I just install the binaries for those from Debian main, and have been able to for many years. :blobfoxsmug: Binary distributions via stack/ghcup is a great thing, tho.
