Archlinux is (in)famous for not doing so

I'm sorry this is your experience. Considering that by default GHC (the Haskell compiler) statically links Haskell dependencies of an application, this is a subpar way of doing things that your distro's packagers have decided to inflict on you. I won't tell you to migrate, but Archlinux has been one of the worst PR for Haskell in ages. :(

> Are people still using gtk?

Manifestly yes. There's even a list of GTK4/Adwaita apps available here: https://arewelibadwaitayet.com/

Widget is not quite a Monad, in this instance it's a newtype around a pointer and classes that mimic GTK's own class hierarchy.

That is entirely your distribution's fault. ArchLinux has a user-hostile packaging approach which I do not experience in Fedora.

It's a beautiful story on consciousness and purpose, but it is science-fiction. But one purpose of fiction, and art in general, is to make us think and not merely consume. It does not matter if it never comes true, because it has changed something in the viewer.

A lot of un-updateable software out there that strip the body. Especially when the companies behind it doesn't provide support anymore.
