 chreekat | well, i don't really know of any. I myself am building this experiment in hopes of learning something about it | 16:47:19 |
| chreekat | confession: i am using claude. But I'm minimizing the blast damage by compartmentalizing the steps and checking carefully all the parts I do understand | 16:48:52 |

as a sanity check, if a tool was introduced that created a drv for every source file of every haskell dependency of your haskell package, that would be unreasonable, right? Way too many drvs? https://github.com/obsidiansystems/sandstone | 17:04:11 |

 Alex | It shouldn't be, but I think this is mostly a question of how efficiently Nix can handle derivations.
I suspect that there is little effort put into making them low overhead, given how little of Nixpkgs creates such small derivations. | 19:41:09 |

romes: The first Stage3 cross-compiler (i.e. a cross-compiled compiler) built by our CI:
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/jobs/2421476/artifacts/browse
I'm testing it now.
They managed to get a riscv ghc crossed from im assuming x86. Could be used for bootstrap on our side 🎉
(Cross post from #GHC:matrix.org)
| 11:29:59 |
| Alex | We already have a working setup for native RISC-V via x86 cross (which I think is in the official Nixpkgs cache now?), but an official RISC-V build could make it less fragile.
But I suspect that the new compiler is only viable for the latest GHC, which would take a while to become the default GHC? | 12:05:05 |
