added. It can now be used in the `default-language` and `other-languages`
fields, and will be offered as an option by `cabal init`.

- Remove `initialBuildSteps` from `Distribution.Simple.Build` [#9474](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9474)

Calling `initialBuildSteps` to prepare source files for a package is error
prone, as `initialBuildSteps` only handles things like the paths module
and nothing else.

To mimick `initialBuildSteps` behaviour when there is no custom Setup, you
can call `repl_setupHooks`.

If you are dealing with a custom setup, you have to invoke
`./Setup repl --repl-multi-file`.

### Other changes

- `cabal init` should not suggest Cabal < 2.0 [#8680](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/8680)
