haskell-language-server
Official haskell ide support via language server (LSP). Successor of ghcide & haskell-ide-engine.
> Haskell has an endemic problem where way too many development resources are put into fringe parts of GHC
There has been an incredibly amount of work put into all the things you mentioned over the last decade, which it sounds like you're unfamiliar with. https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server in particular is a pleasure to use in my experience. Package management is far from perfect, but it's always being worked on and I'll take it over anything in Python or the Node.js ecosystems any day. Developer experience has improved a lot since I started using the language and this is an area that the community and leadership absolutely cares about--I'd be surprised at anyone who spent time reading discussions in https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals or https://discourse.haskell.org/ or etc. would agree with you.

Haskell is not ML, and while Haskell records are weak they are not what is preventing people from writing big projects in Haskell. There is much more to the language than records. But I said this in my previous comment.
Nothing you've written resonates with me, and I've written Haskell and PureScript professionally as well as Java and JS along with a bunch of other languages that haven't been mentioned. I'm also actively working on an open source project in my spare time with thousands of lines of Haskell and PureScript code (https://github.com/ddellacosta/automation-service), not to mention a half dozen other random half-done projects and contributions I've made to other open source libraries and applications. What have you written in Haskell that has made you dislike it so much?

Yes it is.

automation-service
automation-service is a tool for setting up simple-to-complicated home automations, like triggering lighting to go on when you enter a room, or reading from and responding to sensors--and much more. Currently very alpha

Sorry to be "that Haskell guy", but this kind of space leak is a solved problem. I call the technique that solves it "make invalid laziness unrepresentable"[1]. That doesn't mean it's a trivial effort to apply the technique to everywhere in your codebase that needs it, it doesn't mean that every library you use will have applied the technique[2], but it does mean it's a solved issue with a fix that follows from best practices. Space leaks don't take the insight of gurus to fix.

[2] Here's a space leak I fixed two years ago in a popular library by making invalid laziness unrepresentable https://github.com/mrkkrp/megaparsec/issues/486#issue-135418...
