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.

Haskell is a good, useful, and practical programming language.
Indeed, there is a lot of room for improvements. But I just wanted to acknowledge and thank the work of those involved in HLS which IMHO was a game changer in that regard.

No HLS support for the "recommended" 9.2.5?
Specifically, gchup and HLS are both opensource community efforts. If you want to see HLS work with ghc-9.2.5, you may want to ask https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server or, better, provide them a PR that builds HLS with ghc-9.2.5.

dev environment for windows
Sadly ghcup tui is not available on windows, but you can check the available versions with ghcup list. Hls lists the compatible versions of ghc at their github releases. For 1.8.0.0 I went with 9.4.2. To install it and set it to default you have to use the ghcup install ghc 9.4.2 then the ghcup set ghc 9.4.2. Hopefully this will be useful to someone with the same problem.

HLS issues an error for Setup.hs and Spec.hs (using hspec-discover)
Here's an issue I created for it: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/issues/3348

Transform your old and tired Haskell source files in shining Notebooks
The code is executed by HLS, see https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/blob/master/plugins/hls-eval-plugin/README.md and then its markdown/html output is displayed by VS Code.

What is the correct way to compile non-haskell sourcefiles in a cabal project.
As you can see there, Shake is also a good fit for Cabal scripts. And Cabal scripts work better in 3.8. There are still issues loading them with HLS, but hopefully not for long. For this reason, I also have a build.sh which wraps that, allowing the script to be loaded via GHC directly, but I look forward to being able to remove this.
- haskell-language-server 1.8.0.0 released!

[ANNOUNCE] GHC 9.4.1-rc1 is now available
AFAIK the latest GHC version which the haskell language server (which is what the vs code extension uses) supports is 9.2.2, so not yet, I'd say.
-
Proper editor support?
As far as I could see this bug is already reported. It is about stack not being able to handle multi crate project.
I believe you've bumped into this issue: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/issues/2857

A working example for Reflex/Obsidian + HLS?
You're likely going to have to set up a hie-bios file in an hie.yaml file. More info here: https://github.com/haskell/hie-bios

I was finally able to set up Neovim lspconfig with Haskell Language Server on MacOS!
Look here: hie-bios (its the library used by haskell-language-server to get to know your project better, iirc).

Portable Haskell with VS Code?
Yeah the same happened to me with previous versions of the Haskell IDE Engine that used Stack, so I ended up with several snapshots under \~/.stack that took a lot of space. Nowadays I just install HLS, Cabal and a single HLS-supported GHC with ghcup. It's a huge difference. I think there is a Windows-supported equivalent of ghcup, but I have not used it. If you also have Stack installed, remember that you can place a [`hie.yaml`](https://github.com/mpickering/hie-bios#explicit-configuration) file in your project root that can [force HLS to use cabal](https://github.com/mpickering/hie-bios#cabal) instead of stack in your project (this was needed last time I checked, complex configurations would need tuning this file a bit, though).
-
Is almost everyone using VS Code now for Haskell?
You can provide an alternative stack.yaml to HLS, with the specific configuration for the ide, although you have to write down an explicit hie.yaml file, take a look to https://github.com/mpickering/hie-bios#stack

vscode-ghc-simple: Requesting feedback for vgs-bios
Please consider testing dev builds with the WIP new vgs-bios feature, inspired by the amazing hie-bios. It reads your project hie.yaml and supports multi-component/multi-package projects.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing haskell-language-server and hie-bios you can also consider the following projects:
coc.nvim - Nodejs extension host for vim & neovim, load extensions like VSCode and host language servers.
neovim - Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability
