  • Leaving Haskell Behind

    Ah, didn't run into this issue, as I don't use vscode.

    Apparently there is some work being done to improve the stack <> hls experience, but I wouldn't know how it's going and when it's being delivered: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/6154

  • ANN: stack-2.11.1

    Fix incorrect warning if allow-newer-deps are specified but allow-newer is false. See #6068.

  • PEP 582 rejected - consensus among the community needed
    7 projects | /r/Python | 28 Mar 2023
    Fair enough! Thanks for the suggestion, then. In fact, the non-Python language I develop most in (Haskell, with the Stack package manager) has exactly that behaviour as a default: new packages are installed to a sandboxed local directory, and it takes an explicit request to install something globally. (And even then, you can switch between different global "known good configurations" of package versions which work well together – a pretty handy feature.)

    In YAML configuration files, the hackage-security key of the package-index key or the package-indices item can be omitted, and the Hackage Security configuration for the item will default to that for the official Hackage server. See #5870.

  • [ANN] First release candidate for stack-2.9.3
    5 projects | /r/haskell | 22 Nov 2022
    Yes, that is correct. Stack's allow-newer: true configuration has always actually meant 'ignore bounds'. However, the author of the allow-newer-deps development has in mind a further development that will introduce an actual ignore-bounds key with the same expressive syntax that is used by Cabal. This is discussed at Stack #5910.

  • how do I specify cabal fields to stack?
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 20 Oct 2022
    I'm trying to use the cabal mixins feature to automatically replace every implicit prelude import with a custom prelude (in this case relude). apparently it doesn't play well with `stack repl` https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/5077 but I don't really use it anyway.

  • Is there a programming language that will blow my mind?
    12 projects | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 1 Jun 2023
    Haskell - a general-purpose functional language with many unique properties (purely functional, lazy, expressive types, STM, etc). You mentioned you dabbled in Haskell, why not try it again? (I've written about 7 things I learned from Haskell, and my book is linked at them bottom if you're interested :) )

    Btw here is the repo I am talking about: https://github.com/haskell-infra/www.haskell.org .

    haskell.org now has a big purple Get Started button that takes you to a nice short guide (haskell.org/get-started) that quickly provides all the basic info to get going with Haskell. It is aimed for beginners, to reduce choice fatigue and to give them a clear, official path to get going.

    Should they be part of haskell.org or something else?

  • dev environment for windows
    4 projects | /r/haskell | 1 Dec 2022
    I just jumped into the wiki "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 hours" which looks pretty good. (although some of the text explanation is hard to understand without context).. I used cabal to set up the starter project. Sublime editor seems to work OK and I just use the git Bash shell on windows to compile the program directly on the command line. So maybe this is all good enough for now (?). It seems installing it from haskell.org with ghcup was more straight forward than I thought.

    We made or are making some (small for now) contributions to projects like Cabal and haskell.org, and we hope to ramp it up as time goes.

    Yeah, definitely. We're working on adding a guide[1] like that to haskell.org as we speak :)

    If you have a chance, you could look over the PR and tell me whether this is roughly what you're thinking of.
