On hadrian:
Documentation will eventually catch up as more people use hadrian but
imo things that
need to be supported are:
- Some workflows:
* make fast
* ./validate
* make EXTRA_HC_OPTS="..."
- On windows build.bat defaults to stack which I think has never worked
on my box.
- It's still too easy to run into hadrian bugs imo, which will probably
work itself out in a few months.
There are also a few quality of life issues like ctrl+c not canceling
the build on windows.
Which I hope will be resolved at some point but not sure if these should
be showstoppers.
