  • Neovim: How to get variable type hinting?

    I have been using helix with ghcup installed ghc(s) and language servers. It works with Haskell out of box, no configuration necessary. Helix is a modal editor, similar to but distinctly different from the vi family. Although a long time vim user I have found the switch to helix not too difficult and definitely worth the trouble.

    I don't know what FreeBSD's reasons for removing Haskell from the ports tree was -- but in any case, Haskell likes to have its own development & runtime environments. The recommended method (for Linux, as well as FreeBSD) to install the package managers (cabal & stack), & the toolchain nowadays is 'ghcup': https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/
  • Already learned Scala syntax. Should the next book be "SICP" or "Function Programming in Scala"?

    If you want a solid understanding of FP and not just FP in Scala, I highly recommend installing GHCup and working through Haskell Programming From First Principles. Then I would work through Scala With Cats, Essential Effects, and Practical FP in Scala for how all of that maps onto Scala.

    This is the first release that was executed via the new GitHub CI. Everything went smoothly, except for an unexpected packaging bug on windows due to text-2.0 linking against libstdc++ by default.

    https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/ is the easiest way to get set up. It supports Windows installation through Powershell, or you can use the linux instructions to install it in WSL. There’s a slight performance impact to WSL, but especially for starting out just choose whichever environment is most comfortable.
