monpad VS haskell-language-server

Basically everything - it's a general purpose language after all! Creating Spotify playlists, polling my local tennis courts' website to see when spaces become available, home automation stuff like turning lights and plugs off under certain conditions. Today I wrote a 20-line-or-so program to track my friend's progress in a marathon. More substantially, over lockdown I built a tool for using phones as game controllers, and it's been my primary language at work for the past five years, across two very different jobs.

The one time I've needed this, I used Shake (this particular example is likely more complex than you need). I can fully recommend it.

I've been building a web app, for which it would be very useful to be able to vibrate the user's phone (with Navigator.vibrate) at various points.

The advent of language server protocol made possible the creation of HLS (Haskell Language Server), and there are plugins for many editors, such as vscode-haskell, that allow you to have auto-complete, auto-import, and automatic function signatures—also available to your editor of choice. The whole feedback loop of editing, compiling, and running is greatly improved.

HLS 2.3.0.0 is currently broken on Windows.

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.

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):

I think the corresponding HLS PR is https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/pull/3462, so it isn't landed yet but hopefully can be part of a HLS release before too long. (I'm not sure if it will make it in to the very next release because we're due one out to support GHC 9.6.1 pretty soon.)
