I wonder, isn't there a way to compile a Haskell project in release mode with Stack? There's no nothing related to "release" in stack --help. How can I compile it in Release mode then?

There is no such thing as "release mode". Perhaps you want to enable more optimization? In that case, pass in --ghc-options -O2. Alternatively, add -O2 to ghc-options: in your cabal file. Then, you can use stack build --fast to override this with -O0 which will build faster but optimize less.

3@OskarK. Why not check out [Stack's documentation](http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/GUIDE/#flags-and-ghc-options)? – Jan Gerlinger Apr 29 '16 at 14:20
