vscode-haskell VS learn-you-a-haskell

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

The LYAH is by far my favorite book for beginners, however, it lacks exercises for you to practice, but you can still move along typing and playing with the examples shown, and it’s free to read online. It’s outdated but most of the code may still be valid with little to no changes.

Learn You a Haskell For Great Good! is also a really good resource:

https://learnyouahaskell.com/

If you've never done functional, Learn You Some Erlang For Great Good was a very fun read, and I'll always love Learn You a Haskell for Great Good for showing me everything imperative languages kinda gloss over magically, as well as why I should never take a job working in Haskell!

you start that way, but don't do http://learnyouahaskell.com really?

Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!

I enjoyed http://learnyouahaskell.com/ which is available in print and digital. Fun and lighthearted while still teaching reasonable depth. YMMV.

Elm is a statically typed language inspired by Haskell. The natural step would be to use Elm on the frontend and Haskell on the backend. And that's what I tried to do. I read with some difficulty the Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! book (available for free here) and learned a lot of cool stuff. But creating a complete backend using Haskell proved to be more than I could chew. So I decided to look for alternatives...

Here y’go!
