ghcup-hs VS pfps-shopping-cart

I'd recommend using ghcup to install Haskell nowadays. (https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/) It makes it easy to install and switch versions of the compiler, language server, and build tools.

The compiler now shows more helpful error messages and GHCup allows us to manage multiple versions of GHC, Stack, and HLS (Haskell Language Server) in a breeze. Compilation time is faster now, but I believe it is because hardware has become faster over the years. Unfortunately, cross-compiling is not yet as simple.

Install Haskell using GHCup. In days of old installing Haskell used to be a pain, but nowadays Haskell comes with a self-isolated thing call ghcup - you install it once, and then it installs the rest of the universe in its own isolated directory that can be independently deleted or updated without affecting the rest of your system.

Try this https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/ but with Window's WSL2.

I've downloaded GHCup, hls and stack from the command from this link https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/

The instructions to install ghcup are here: https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/

I have been using helix with ghcup installed ghc(s) and language servers. It works with Haskell out of box, no configuration necessary. Helix is a modal editor, similar to but distinctly different from the vi family. Although a long time vim user I have found the switch to helix not too difficult and definitely worth the trouble.

What method were you thinking of using? The recommended method is ghcup

Gabriel Volpe has a book that goes over just that using the typelevel stack. I highly recommend it: https://leanpub.com/pfp-scala

The only issue I had was how to put all this knowledge together. For that I bought Practical FP in scala by Gabriel Vlope, it's not for beginners, tho but takes you through a project with the latest typelevel stack. Here's the link. https://leanpub.com/pfp-scala.

This is a really good book https://leanpub.com/pfp-scala

If you want a solid understanding of FP and not just FP in Scala, I highly recommend installing GHCup and working through Haskell Programming From First Principles. Then I would work through Scala With Cats, Essential Effects, and Practical FP in Scala for how all of that maps onto Scala.

Practical FP in Scala

BTW for learning good application structure with Tagless Final I really recommend the book Practical FP in Scala and its work-along example application. That's where I stole the pattern above from.
