⁠FAQ

Yees, and in fact that's our base image.
Additionally we also stack build a whole list of packages, so that when you get to build your project they don't have to be recompiled, dramatically cutting CI time.

The tradeoff here is the bandwidth: the image is quite big (> 1GB), so fetching it from your favorite CI might take some time (especially if you don't cache Docker images).
Doing this with Haskell is convenient, because compiling things on free-CI CPUs usually takes more time than fetching the already compiled package (YMMV, you'll have to benchmark this with your setup)
