I'm pretty sure this (evolving) article has been around well before VSCode's initial release.


Is there maybe an article somebody can actually stand a chance of reading end to end? I think GP is right, there’s not a chance somebody who’s actually new to Haskell would find this useful as a true “things I wish I knew” article. It’s more of a complete reference to the entire language.

To me at least, “things I wish I knew” implies it’s some sort of companion to a real language guide/tutorial/book, not a replacement for one.


I'm sure you are right. That is just picking at one thing I will admit, but I do use vscode, so when I saw a section about how to best use haskell in vscode i was interested. I'm not interested enough, or as a beginner qualified, to evaluate 7 options.


The IDE problem is still a major pain in Haskell. However, for now there are just I think 2 main options to choose from, and it's fairly straightforward. Still, not everything works as expected yet.

We've come a really long way in just the past 3 years with IDE stuff. I suggest you give it another try if you're still interested in diving into Haskell.


Well Leksah seems to still be an option.


You need all of them, not to pick one of them.
