ZuriHac 2019 - GHC Track

[Matthew Pickering]

I am writing a blog post concurrently with preparing my talk so I will
post that afterwards.

I would have expected `dante` to work with the `./hadrian/ghci.sh`
target. What goes wrong there?

The haskell-ide-engine support lives on a branch, which you are
welcome to try, but comes with no guarantees. It is more than a proof
of concept but less than fully production ready.
