vscode-haskell VS haskell-language-server

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

HLS 2.3.0.0 is currently broken on Windows.

The Haskell community has been focusing on tooling and IDE support in the last several years. Haskell-Language-Server is a huge improvment, so the experience is probably much better than you remember, but it'll still be a while before it catches up with Rust.

static-ls is a low memory language server for Haskell that serves as an alternative to (hls)[https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server] with less functionality by using statically generated information. It is intended for (Highly recommend hls instead if you aren't having these issues):

I think the corresponding HLS PR is https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/pull/3462, so it isn't landed yet but hopefully can be part of a HLS release before too long. (I'm not sure if it will make it in to the very next release because we're due one out to support GHC 9.6.1 pretty soon.)
