  • Is almost everyone using VS Code now for Haskell?

    I created vscode-ghc-simple, which is a VSCode extension that provides editor tooling using only GHCi. It interacts with GHCi using text I/O, especially with the features that use :set +c to provide expression type information and go to definition.

  • Setting up Reflex with VS Code in WSL
    4 projects | /r/haskell | 8 Feb 2021
    Im not sure haskell language server works with reflex right now (haven't used reflex recently). You may ask on IRC or maybe try https://github.com/dramforever/vscode-ghc-simple (haven't used it recently either). For ghcid, I don't think it supports reloading across packages, you can try something like what I did here https://github.com/aveltras/blog-reflex/blob/master/blog-reflex.cabal (basically, having only one cabal file for the whole project and two executable client and server both having two source directories, so during development, you'd only work with ghcid on the server part, putting most of the code that can work on both environment in the common directory).
