also matrix doesn't do any ghc 8.4 stuff yet :( https://matrix.hackage.haskell.org/package/language-glsl

It's a shame matrix doesn't do GHC 8.4. I use Oleg's trustee tool locally. While developing my own libraries, I use it every day to make sure my commits don't break the older GHC's I support.

At the time of writing, language-glsl gives the following matrix:

                      8.4.1  8.2.2  8.0.2  7.10.3  7.8.4  7.6.3  7.4.2  7.2.2  7.0.4
language-glsl-0.2.1/  FAIL   OK     OK     OK      OK     OK     OK     OK     OK   
language-glsl-0.2.0/  FAIL   OK     OK     OK      OK     OK     OK     OK     OK

I have made revisions to language-glsl so now we get

                      8.4.1  8.2.2  8.0.2  7.10.3  7.8.4  7.6.3  7.4.2  7.2.2  7.0.4

... and now with some revisions to pretty:

                      8.4.1  8.2.2  8.0.2  7.10.3  7.8.4  7.6.3  7.4.2  7.2.2  7.0.4
language-glsl-0.2.1/  NO-IP  OK     OK     OK      OK     OK     OK     OK     OK   
language-glsl-0.2.0/  NO-IP  OK     OK     OK      OK     OK     OK     OK     OK   
language-glsl-0.1.1/  NO-IP  OK     OK     OK      OK     OK     OK     OK     OK   
language-glsl-0.1.0/  NO-IP  OK     OK     OK      OK     OK     OK     OK     OK   
language-glsl-0.0.2/  NO-IP  OK     OK     OK      OK     OK     OK     OK     OK   
language-glsl-0.0.1/  NO-IP  OK     OK     OK      OK     OK     OK     OK     OK   
language-glsl-0.0.0/  NO-IP  OK     OK     OK      OK     OK     OK     OK     OK   

Obviously this doesn't solve your actual problem, but at least you won't get bad build plans anymore.

Edit: I have emailed the maintainer to inform them of my revisions, and pointed them to the open pull request for 8.4 support at noteed/language-glsl#17
