Why does Nix have Haskell packages that are incompatible with GHC for a given version?

1. ghc_nix_problem

   1 1 0 10.0 Nix

   

   I created an example repository https://github.com/cideM/ghc_nix_problem

2. Stream

   getstream.io featured

   Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

   

3. haskell.nix

   2 16 616 9.7 Nix

   Alternative Haskell Infrastructure for Nixpkgs

   

   I'm not a great haskeller but I found haskell.nix better for Haskell projects, like the commenter on Discourse suggested. I've had a few issued regarding package versions with nixpkgs that haskell.nix solved.

4. nixpkgs

   3 1,062 22,784 10.0 Nix

   Nix Packages collection & NixOS

   

   For 8.10, there is configuration-ghc-8.10.x.nix.
