Description

For example, to build a Haskell project there are several established ways, which are scattered along the docs, blog posts and so forth. It would be good to have an overview page of all these ways, like e.g. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/super-simple-haskell-development-with-nix/14287/3 (which is really hard to find)
