vscode-haskell VS elm-architecture-tutorial

The advent of language server protocol made possible the creation of HLS (Haskell Language Server), and there are plugins for many editors, such as vscode-haskell, that allow you to have auto-complete, auto-import, and automatic function signatures—also available to your editor of choice. The whole feedback loop of editing, compiling, and running is greatly improved.

Have you tried installing Haskell with https://www.haskell.org/ghcup? After installing it vscode with the https://github.com/haskell/vscode-haskell Haskell extension should work out of the box.

I reported the issue here, let's see what happens.

The release never made it through: https://github.com/haskell/vscode-haskell/actions/runs/2823440618

But generally, haskell-language-server should give you a proper IDE instead: https://github.com/haskell/vscode-haskell

Re-enable upgrade functionality for all configurations wrt MR #250 and VSCode haskell issue #601

Since this is going to be a very much breaking release, please expect bugs and rough edges we have to iron out! Please report all issues you encounter at the vscode-haskell issue tracker or reply to this post :) We ask you for your feedback, especially documentation wise: What do you think needs more explanations and what feature is harder than necessary to use or debug?

Same. Looks like someone's just finally opened a bug report: https://github.com/haskell/vscode-haskell/issues/471

I'm learning Haskell right now, pure functional language, but if anyone is interested, Elm is based on Haskell and much easier to learn. Elm is a web development language that compiles to JS. https://guide.elm-lang.org/

Elm is a different approach that compiles into JavaScript. In the extreme case, you have Emscripten which will compile many language into JavaScript but will feel really clumsy compared to using JavaScript in a lot of cases.

And if you want to stay in the UI realm, Elm is a good introduction into functional programming.

If you want to get better at data structures you should strongly consider learning a functional language. A huge part of functional programming is manipulating data structures. The language Elm is a great place to start for you since it's frontend specific. For example, check out the doc page for the Dict data type and see if that kind of stuff is what you're looking for.

https://guide.elm-lang.org/ for a high level guide, and an unstyled button example https://elm-lang.org/examples/buttons.

I hope this tiny guide was helpful, and that you learned something new today. If you want to learn more about Elm, you should check out the official guide or say hello in the Elm Slack #beginners channel

https://guide.elm-lang.org/ is always a solid example for me

After going through the whole Introductory Guide to the Elm Language and reading the Elm in Action book, I already felt quite comfortable developing webapps in this paradigm. I liked Elm so much that I started a project to teach programming to beginners using this language and made the first classes available on the website elm.dev.br (in Brazilian Portuguese).
