プロジェクトの歴史

The Stack changelog records the first public release on 2015-06-09 as the Haskell Tool Stack, beta quality. Within weeks it added index updates, package removal from HTTPS and Git, install support, test-running improvements, stack init, resolver support, Hackage upload support, stack new, stack solver, stack path, stack dot, stack upgrade, and the --stack-yaml flag.

The documentation describes Stack as a program for developing Haskell projects, aimed at new and experienced users, with support across Linux, macOS, and Windows. Its core promise is orchestration: select a GHC, read stack.yaml, build dependencies and project packages, and keep the toolchain reproducible enough for local development and CI.

Over time Stack grew beyond the early snapshot-and-build loop. The changelog shows Docker and Nix integration, script interpreter support, Hackage authentication and upload behavior, Hpack integration, lock files, snapshot listing, Windows/MSYS handling, and later support for newer GHC and Cabal versions.

採用の歴史

Stack adoption spread through Haskell projects that wanted a consistent command line across operating systems and CI machines. Its docs and Hackage package page both emphasize Linux, macOS, and Windows support, while package managers distribute it as a single stack executable.

The tool became part of the Commercial Haskell and Stackage workflow, but it also stayed in the broader Haskell package ecosystem through Hackage releases, GitHub releases, and distribution by Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Chocolatey, Scoop, and winget as reflected in package metadata.

Stack's adoption history also includes coexistence with Cabal. The docs present Cabal, Hackage, and Stackage as related pieces: Cabal defines and builds packages, Hackage hosts packages, Stackage supplies curated snapshots, and Stack coordinates project workflows around those components.

使われ方

Typical package-manager usage begins with installing stack, then running commands such as stack new, stack init, stack setup, stack build, stack test, stack exec, stack ghci, stack run, stack script, stack upload, and stack path inside or around a Haskell project.

A project-level stack.yaml selects a snapshot or compiler and project packages; global and user configuration live under Stack's root/config locations. This split is why the package has both project configuration and user credentials paths: builds are project-specific, but Hackage upload credentials are user-specific.

Stack is also used as a bootstrapper. It can install or select GHC, build a project with the versions implied by its snapshot, and run tools in the resulting environment. That makes it attractive for tutorials and CI scripts because one command can reproduce a build plan that would otherwise require several separate tools.

パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

Stack is package-nerd material because it changed the default conversation about Haskell dependency management from only solving constraints to selecting known-good snapshots. That made build reproducibility, resolver names, and curated package sets visible in everyday project files.

It also sits at the intersection of package managers. Homebrew installs Stack as an OS package; Stack then installs or selects GHC and builds Haskell packages from Hackage or snapshots. This layering is both powerful and occasionally surprising, so packagers care about exactly which Stack version is distributed and how it handles GHC, MSYS2, Docker, Nix, Hackage Security, and credentials.

The changelog is a compact history of Haskell ecosystem pressure points: Windows path handling, Hackage authentication changes, Docker behavior, Nix mode, Cabal library compatibility, Stackage server API changes, and evolving GHC support.
