Geoff here from Gitpod. Compsci is an area where Gitpod really shines because it enables you to share whatever you are hacking on without subjecting who you are sharing it with, with the burden of installing dependencies.

Thus, yes, indeed Haskell and SBCL or anything works exceptionally well. Here’s NixOS running on Gitpod btw https://github.com/gitpod-io/template-nixos

If you want to take nixos for a spin in your browser head to https://github.com/gitpod-io/template-nixos and mash the button.

Also https://nix.dev is one of the better learning resources. Over at https://GitHub.com/ghuntley/ghuntley you'll find a workshop I created on Nix.

The first is to use a virtual environment like Gitpod or Codespaces which can have everything pre-installed and configured for you. In fact here's a good hello-world Gitpod VM we've built for you.

GitPod can integrate with a range of Git repo hosts and supports a number of popular IDEs, not just VS Code. The Starter account gives you 50 hrs free per month.
