With the docker image, would it be possible to distribute pre-built
versions of the GHC source tarball? Maybe phabricator could do this? The
biggest overhead for me always is that compiling the source the first time
takes something like 2 hours (even without optimizations) on my machine. If
there was a pre-built version, I could just change one file and only
recompile what I changed.
