Haskells tooling is abysmal, which saying out loud it doesn’t make sense. 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.
