haskell-mode VS ggtags

You can use GHCI's debugger through Emacs's haskell-debug-mode (part of the haskell-mode package), and probably through other editor/IDEs as well, a programming editor like Emacs or Vim simply needs to be able to run a GHCI session and send commands to it.

No, I was only using haskell-mode. So I guess this is LSP's fault, then. Not Emacs's fault and not haskell-mode's fault.

If I made it sound like there's something like IntelliSense today, apologies! We've got <https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/blob/master/haskell-...>, but it's type-a-command-and-do-a-search: it's not linked in with completion directly in the setups I've seen.

(In practice, I'm usually starting from a slightly different place: I know I want a Frob and I've got a This and a That, so I do :hoogle This -> That -> Frob and get some options. The thought-process is working backwards from the goal more than forwards from one key object in focus. A different way of working, but I'm not convinced it's less effective.)

My point though was that it's an engineering issue, not a fundamental language limitation. ie not a reason all future languages should shun haskell features. The building blocks to do better at completion than haskell curently does are there.

check if you have any similar config to what caused this issue: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues/1777 for me

Package-lint has been on my list, but the maintainer, MELPA's Steve Purcell, has been hesitant about NonGNU ELPA in the past (see this discussion), so I have skipped his packages for now, and also because most of the packages he maintains have a "broken" version tag, most of the time -- the reason here is that MELPA adds these manually, and since he understandably is targetting MELPA, there is little interest from his side to fix that.

You can see the expected output in this PR description.

I use haskell-mode. It has a shortcut for loading a module into REPL, and it also runs hasktags for me. That's literally all I use.

Just as a note from my poking around, this is the "official" way to use a nix-shell with haskell-mode: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/blob/3a019e65b504861d7ea23afbfecd14e5ef63e846/haskell-customize.el#L77

Can you access https://elpa.gnu.org in a browser?

The packages available via the built-in package manager once configured do not come from GitHub though they may be developed there. They come from GNU ELPA NonGNU ELPA and MELPA. You would still need internet access though.

To install elisp packages system-wide under the Portage control you can use gs-elpa. Read layman documentation before using it, as gs-elpa represents ELPA repositories as g-sorcery overlays. It currently supports 4 repositories: gnu-elpa, marmalade, melpa and melpa-stable.

I run emacs at work on a system that does not access the internet, so I cannot utilize the package interface that pulls directly from melpa (and elpa etc). Years ago, someone copied a version of melpa into a local directory on the air-gapped server. In my init.el, I setq package-archive to something like (("local-melpa" . "/path/to/the/melpa/dir")) so that it points to this local directory. I'm wondering if there is a tool to facilitate this sort of mirroring? I would like to update my packages on this air-gapped network. I am able to copy files onto the system from a less restricted workstation with internet access. Is it just a matter of unzipping the melpa repo and pointing package-archive to the fresh melpa directory?

https://github.com/leoliu/ggtags works well ; otherwise I use dumb-jump and eglot quite a bit

https://github.com/leoliu/ggtags can also be useful ; and for me ripgrep via https://github.com/leoliu/ack-el or https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump

I get similar connection-security messages when attempting to connect to the package archive at https://elpa.nongnu.org/ —again, in both *Package* and in *eww*—while elpa.gnu.org seems to be just flat out nonresponsive. However, other https sites including https://duckduckgo.com/about and https://twitter.com work just fine.

I am working on adding more packages to NonGNU ELPA, the new package archive enabled by default from Emacs 28 onwards. Compared to GNU ELPA, there is no need for a copyright assignment (the only requirement is that packages do not endorse non-free software, but that is the case for most Emacs-related software to begin with).

You can also install the latest stable version of Org via GNU ELPA by invoking M-x package-install RET org RET.
