It's not bloat if you use it.
Then again, am I really using these Haskell libraries? I just want to use pandoc. I love Arch, but the organization of the official repos is sometimes suboptimal.
you're right, installing pandoc on arch really comes with a lot of bloat. Iirc it's >200 haskell libraries.
Last I checked (which was some time ago), pandoc-bin doesn't require the haskell dependencies. I saved quite some installation time (and screen space during installation) by switching.
Used pandoc-bin before and agree it's more compact, but I had some issues with citation management recently, so went back to standard pandoc.
Haskell is paved with bad installations.
Someone has never done software development or worked on a build pipeline and it shows. Obviously complex software has lots of dependencies especially compiling from source.
I definitely use the previous 10 versions of electron that I definitely didn't completely forget to uninstall.
In unrelated news, by root partition is now about 2GB lighter.
