Setting up an up-to-date Haskell development environment is still a difficult process, involving various non-trivial and only lightly documented steps (Example: Given a fully working Spacemacs, but no Haskell SW at all: Try to set up your system for a stack-based workflow with GHC-9.0, including a formatter/linter/code completion/...) . In the meantime, people are discussing more and more esoteric type system extensions for the next GHC release and the advantages of relatively niche features like SafeHaskell. I'm totally aware of the fact that there are different people working on the different parts, nevertheless the overall emphasis is a bit... strange. :-/</div><div><br></div></div></div>
