  • 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?
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 28 May 2021
    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?
    6 projects | /r/haskell | 20 Mar 2021
    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
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 15 Mar 2021
    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.
