This was similar to my experience with Haskell and Ubuntu. The Haskell ecosystem seems to have both severe version compatibility issues and issues with transitive dependencies ballooning out of control.

I mean, this is a tool that processes text right? Not sure why there should be hundreds of megabytes of dependencies at any step.

Actually I was expecting a rant about Docker... it didn't really have anything to do with Docker, as far as I can tell.
