I did Haskell for a while in nvim with basically no features (there are several, I just didn't set them up). I simply had ghcid running in one tab, nvim in the other, and did what the compiler told me to do.
So that didn't matter to me because the compiler is great and ghcid is very fast and sufficient.

Such a great compiler with the most über of type systems, one would think that the tools used for it would be a shining beacon of hope. Yet setting up the most basic system from scratch can easily take hours. I definitely appreciate the sense of pride and joy one has with surviving the challenges, but jeez, stop for a second and take a quick look at Rust’s package manager or F# and Ocaml’s ide experience. It might, just might, help bring in new blood and users to grow the community and with it bring better tooling and other useful libraries.
- auslegung 7y agoIn general I agree but have you used ghcid? I’m not really sure what people want in ide tooling, I’m quite fine with compiler output and everything else I want from an ide should be language agnostic: goto, search, replace, file navigation, etc.
