[Haskell-cafe] GHCJS Bad first impression

[David Johnson]

Zachary,

I highly recommend using the nix package manager for GHCJS projects.

Nix is very easy to install and uninstall (rm -rf /nix).

To install: curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
To be put into a shell where ghcjs exists along with a few dependencies,
run,

nix-shell -p "haskell.packages.ghcjs.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: with pkgs;
[ghcjs-base ghcjs-dom])"

>From here the only real framework that exists is reflex-dom. There is
actually the reflex-platform project that uses the nix package manager (
https://github.com/reflex-frp/reflex-platform)
