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.

Was simplified subsumption worth it for industry Haskell programmers?
There is an open issue on hlint for it and the situation doesn't seem encouraging for anyone using apply-refact on save for Haskell files.
- create a manage hook on only one workspace

Write Rust lints without forking Clippy
may want to look at something like https://github.com/ndmitchell/hlint for inspiration. it can be a little finicky but you can express mildly complicated linting rules

Haskellers who moved to Rust: What has been your experience?
The Haskell community has been focusing on tooling and IDE support in the last several years. Haskell-Language-Server is a huge improvment, so the experience is probably much better than you remember, but it'll still be a while before it catches up with Rust.
- HLS 2.0.0.0 is out

Static-ls - a low memory Haskell language server based on hiedb and hiefiles
static-ls is a low memory language server for Haskell that serves as an alternative to (hls)[https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server] with less functionality by using statically generated information. It is intended for (Highly recommend hls instead if you aren't having these issues):
- Any open source projects to contribute to for beginners
-
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.
