Thank you for working on this.


Recently, I have tried to setup some Haskell environment -- previously
I was using Debian packages -- and I was a bit lost. Using Debian, I
am just doing "apt-get install haskell-platform" and it fits my needs
as beginner. Does something similar exist in Guix? If yes, which
package is it? If not, could we add it? (I have tried to express this
here [1]).
