Either you use stack and let it handle your ghc install, or you don't, and I really don't see why you would use stack only for compiler install. What I mean is that when I start VS Code on my Haskell project again after a couple months, it tells me that it needs to donwload a new version of GHC. And I don't know why since I didn't change anything about my project. And when I try to click on update, it fails and the HLS extension crashes. I can't tell you where exactly this goes wrong, but it's obvious that these tools don't all work well together. edit: Now I see that my wording was confusing. You quoted me as saying that I want HLS to overwrite my GHC version, but what I meant was that I want to prevent HLS (actually, I should have said the VS Code Haskell plugin) from doing that. The subject of "want" in that sentence you quoted is "HLS".
