The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Anyone know the best way to use haskell for arch linux?
You can use ghcid. It compiles the code, and shows if there are any errors as you save your file. Have two terminals. One for editing your file...other one with ghcid ($ ghcid path/to/filename.hs). Right click on the ghcid terminal and click `always on top`. That way, It will be always visible as you are typing and saving code.

Static-ls - a low memory Haskell language server based on hiedb and hiefiles
With a combination of ghcid, an hiedb filewatcher and the -fdefer-type-errors flag you can get pretty solid IDE behavior. Currently only ghc 9.4.4 is supported but happy to personally help people set this up if interested!

What's the best Editor+Tests experience we can get with Haskell?
With an editor integration, you could rig it up to where you could right-click on a Spec, choose "Run spec" from a context menu, and have your editor add that comment to and save dev.hs. Another editor integration could read and parse the contents of ghcid.txt. We have this already for the compiler output, but it doesn't yet parse the test output. But sans an editor integration, you will still see the test output in the console where Ghcid is running.

What's the best way to use a REPL for TDD?
Sounds like you want ghcid. You can use it run tests on a successful build, and it will watch files in your project and quick-rebuild when there are changes. There shouldn't be any need to modify your Cabal files or test dependencies.

TDD for AoC?
In addition, for Haskell, I usually have ghcid running, which likewise re-runs on every file change, but gives faster feedback about any type errors than the full compiler, and also is configured to evaluate

Most braindead easy end to end haskell workflow?
VS Code + Haskell extension is usually best, but ghcid is an alternative which is much simpler, easier to set up, less pretty and powerful but still pretty easy and effective to use. Here's a workflow:
-
How to cabal?
In general, though, I recommend just looking at the cabal files for various libraries and executables. Something like ghcid is good, since it contains a library, an executable, and a test suite.

Fast way to run Haskell script from nvim?
you should also checkout the ghci vim plugin https://github.com/ndmitchell/ghcid/tree/master/plugins/nvim

What Is Dimensional Analysis?
Dimensions behave somewhat like a "type system" for math. These dimensional-analysis tricks act like the trick you see in Haskell sometimes, where you can easily guess an implementation of an expression once you know it's type (or e.g. search by type signature https://hoogle.haskell.org/ )

Do you miss dot-completion when coding in Haskell?
Haskell Spotlight makes vscode a client for hoogle. It isn't too different than jumping into your browser and type https://hoogle.haskell.org/. The main advantage is that you have everything in one place

dear ZVON.org owner, please take your haskell references down
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base and https://hoogle.haskell.org are automatically up to date and better searchable than almost any other reference of any other programming language. maintaining a redundant reference that needs to be kept up to date manually is simply stupid.

Noob Question about Symbols after Class propertys.
And yeah I get it, it's hard to Google for punctuation operators in languages because it doesn't give useful search results (but not impossible, for example, Haskell has a search engine for documentation that handles symbols/punctuation).
- uh, got it. thanks Bing

Idris: A Language for Type-Driven Development
You had a look at Hoogle?
For some type signatures there is (are) only one (or only a few) meaningful implementation(s).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ghcid and hoogle you can also consider the following projects:
ghci-ng
castle - A tool to manage shared cabal-install sandboxes.
stack - The Haskell Tool Stack
ghcide - A library for building Haskell IDE tooling
ihaskell - A Haskell kernel for the Jupyter project.
hlint - Haskell source code suggestions
hakyll - A static website compiler library in Haskell
Exercism - Scala Exercises - Crowd-sourced code mentorship. Practice having thoughtful conversations about code.
hadolint - Dockerfile linter, validate inline bash, written in Haskell
