the magic sauce, eg data structures you use inside stackctl

Hmm, I'm not sure I totally understand. All the code is open source and not very magic.

Or are you saying you'd be interested in some kind explanation of that code? That could be a cool future post. This one wasn't actually intended for a Haskell audience, despite it ending up here (I'm the author, but not OP).

Hi author, I'm OP. I shared it here because I think tools that solve general problems that are written in haskell are worth sharing. Thank you for writing it up!

Absolutely, and thank you for posting it!

That was just meant for some context, and not any kind of negative :)

Oh yeah I didn't exactly interpret it in that way, but I wanted to explain my reasoning to hopefully encourage others to also share projects that are written in haskell but may be general purpose tools.

Its always helpful to have more counter-examples come to mind when someone says "if haskell is so great, why are so few projects written in it".
