I don&#x27;t know much about this drama, but here&#x27;s my perception from the outside.<p>There has been a long-standing fight between the Haskell.org committee and the developers of Stack, regarding what should be the &quot;default&quot; option to install Haskell to be displayed on the homepage. Many Haskellers think Stack is a strictly better tool, but the Haskell.org committee thinks that the Haskell Platform is still worth mentioning on the homepage. The Stack team could not convince the committee for months.<p>In the end, the Stack team decided to create a new Haskell community, haskell-lang.org. One of the Stack developers who had contributed to the original haskell.org even said &quot;I don&#x27;t approve of the current haskell.org, nor your use of my design&quot;.[1] It seems that they are trying to replace the Haskell community in the same way how Stack replaced Cabal. This also includes a GitHub organization, an IRC channel, and even a subreddit (&#x2F;r&#x2F;haskell_lang).<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mail.haskell.org&#x2F;pipermail&#x2F;haskell-community&#x2F;2016-April&#x2F;000100.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mail.haskell.org&#x2F;pipermail&#x2F;haskell-community&#x2F;2016-Ap...</a>
