yay VS haskell-language-server

yay is a robust and user-friendly AUR (Arch User Repository) helper for Arch Linux and Arch-based distributions written in Go.

paru has better defaults and --chroot, whereas it's still an open issue for yay.

If you use AUR packages, you might want to use an AUR helper that wraps pacman, like paru or yay.

This one: https://github.com/Jguer/yay Didn't know there were others..

you can use an aur helper like yay

Yay is hopelessly broken, it pretends to rebuild stuff when, in fact, it doesn't. See: https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/2153

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.

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.)
