vscode-ghc-simple VS obelisk

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.

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).

Hello I remember successfully setting up obelisk a while ago and have gone through the instructions https://github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk and ensured that everything is installed correctly, when I run the install command fro obelisk it says that it's installed but when I run ob init I get an error of command not found, this is an arch machine not nixOS. Any help would me much appreciated.

If you want to use reflex, the obelisk framework is pretty user friendly. You do have to install nix on your machine, but the ob command handles all the nix interactions for you so you /hopefully/ don't need to know much.

You can make all those things in haskell, and I do professionally. Frontends (entirely in haskell), native IOS and Android applications, Servers, and Games. In fact the framework Obelisk does most of these all out of the box.

Thanks for the comment! We can honestly say that Obelisk is far from perfect, but we're continuously improving the project in our daily basics. And that's why we encourage you to start your adventure with the lib anew. If you still miss a guide to routing with Obelisk, please read this doc. Our team would be happy to answer your further question regarding Obelisk; feel free to email us anytime!

I also had a use case where I needed to extract the nix derivation dependencies of haskell packages: https://github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk/pull/933

There's also GHCJS, with https://github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk being (probably) the best choice, but personally I found it extremely tedious to set up a dev environment (not a nix guy) and there's also the learning curve of FRP.

I can't speak to the nicest way, as I haven't actually developed any Android apps with Haskell, but I've been meaning to give Obelisk a try.
