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

Installing Xmonad on Arch
The official guide and the archwiki do say that it's okay to just install it via pacman, but I've also found some issues on the official repo that strongly suggest against installing via pacman and to use stack instead, as sometimes pacman breaks dependencies.

Is it just me or it nix becoming more common
Especially Haskell tools often live in proximity to nix as well, e.g., pandoc or xmonad.

[Media] shrs: a shell that is configurable and extensible in rust
Hey everyone đź‘‹ ! I'm currently working on a rust library for building and configuring your own shell! It's inspired by projects like xmonad and penrose where the configuration of the program is done in code. This means that for example, instead of using Bash's arcane syntax for configuring the prompt, it can be configured instead using a rust builder pattern! The project itself is still at a very young stage, so there are plenty of bugs and unimplemented features. However, some things that are (partially) implemented are:

MultiToggle is toggling layout on all workspaces when using WorkspaceCursors
If the problem is as described in the reply linked below, then this isn't a fundamental issue, but just a matter of how sendMessage is written. In fact, the fix already exists in xmonad/432:2fff2a0.

What LaTeX setup do you use?
There are a few other things I could mention, but there are more like side issues, and not relevant to my actual LaTeX setup. First and foremost—and thus perhaps noteworthy after all—is bibliography management with arxiv-citation (see here for more words). This is integrated very well with the XMonad window manager, which makes it even more of a joy to use.
