# 🏴‍☠️ Haskell Build-O-Matic™ 5000 🏴‍☠️  

**The cursed build system Haskell *deserves* but not the one it *needs* right now.**  

A *100% Cabal/Stack-free* experience for the **true masochists** of Haskell development.  

## ✨ Features  

- **`.matic` config files** (because YAML is for cowards).

- **Gaslight HLS** into thinking your project is "normal".

- **Watch mode** that scours your project for changes every 4 seconds (patience is a virtue you don’t have).

- **Nuclear clean** (no survivors, no traces, only pain).

- **Zero dependencies** (except `ghc`, `bash`, and your poor life choices).

## 💀 Quick Start  

1. **Summon a new project:**  

   ```sh

   ./matic create

   ```  

   *It'll help you create a new project (and maybe a few runtime errors).*

2. **Build (and gaslight HLS):**  

   ```sh

   ./matic build my-project -gaslight

   ```  

   *Watch as your editor stops screaming (out of fear).*  

3. **Run your abomination:**  

   ```sh

   ./matic run my-project

   ```  

   *If it fails, restart your editor. Then your computer. Then your life.*  

4. **Enter the rebuild cycle:**

   ```sh

   ./matic watch my-project

   ```

   *Like a nervous twitch, but for your CPU.*

   

4. **Clean up the evidence:**  

   ```sh

   ./matic clean my-project

   ```  

   *Your project will wake up tomorrow with no memory of ever compiling.*  

## 🔥 Why?  

- **You have a grudge against Cabal and Stack.**

- **You love chaos and pain.**

- **You’re probably a danger to society.**  

## 🚨 Warning  

This tool:  

- **Will** corrupt your global GHC package DB.  

- **Will** make HLS question its life choices.  

- **Will not** scale beyond ~20 files (seems like a *you* problem).
