ghcup-hs VS www.haskell.org

But also ghcup does that and I already use ghcup to manage stack itself, the haskell language server (hls), and even the compatible ghc version. Recently I’ve been hooking up stack to make it use ghcup-installed ghc versions. So, it feels simpler to just use ghcup.

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.

Haskell - a general-purpose functional language with many unique properties (purely functional, lazy, expressive types, STM, etc). You mentioned you dabbled in Haskell, why not try it again? (I've written about 7 things I learned from Haskell, and my book is linked at them bottom if you're interested :) )

Where you go is entirely up to you. According to haskell.org, Haskell jobs are a-plenty. sigh

✨ Supported by http://haskell.org

Btw here is the repo I am talking about: https://github.com/haskell-infra/www.haskell.org .

I just jumped into the wiki "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 hours" which looks pretty good. (although some of the text explanation is hard to understand without context).. I used cabal to set up the starter project. Sublime editor seems to work OK and I just use the git Bash shell on windows to compile the program directly on the command line. So maybe this is all good enough for now (?). It seems installing it from haskell.org with ghcup was more straight forward than I thought.

We made or are making some (small for now) contributions to projects like Cabal and haskell.org, and we hope to ramp it up as time goes.

Maths 2 exists qnd it's called Haskell

Yeah, definitely. We're working on adding a guide[1] like that to haskell.org as we speak :)

If you have a chance, you could look over the PR and tell me whether this is roughly what you're thinking of.

p.s. I am also working on a PR for haskell.org that would hopefully make the webpage a bit more friendly for newcomers, also focused on clearly outlining the journey to get started with Haskell easily. It is not as opinionated as this blog post, but it still tried to make things a bit more straightforward: https://github.com/Martinsos/www.haskell.org/compare/master...Martinsos:www.haskell.org:getting-started .

Done
