vscode-haskell VS tilapia

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

Perhaps the documentation for Char should contain examples of how you write the literals. Tracking as https://github.com/tomjaguarpaw/tilapia/issues/128

Can you please report concrete examples here: https://github.com/tomjaguarpaw/tilapia/issues/new

I'll do what I can to improve the situation, but I need to know which packages precisely you are talking about.

Thanks! Tracking at https://github.com/tomjaguarpaw/tilapia/issues/109

It would be nice with a "modern cabal for stack users" tutorial (ddg tells me it's an issue https://github.com/tomjaguarpaw/tilapia/issues/11 ), answering questions like

If you're on Windows and you're feeling brave you could try these new instructions developed by a collaborator of mine over at the tilapia project. If anything goes wrong with those instructions then please put a message on the pull request describing what the problem was and we'll try to get it fixed.

Great! I'd be happy to have you on board. Please "Watch" the repo so that you are notified of discussions that happen there. Feel free to start your own discussions at any time by opening an issue.

Feel free to collaborate with me on Tilapia. At the very least I would welcome knowing about your ideas.

I also have a personal project (tilapia) for tracking difficulties in the Haskell ecosystem. Feel free to post any observations, questions or difficulties there.
