The Haskell ecosystem has accumulated a wealth of developer tools over the years. Some of them, such as Hoogle and HLint, have existed for nearly two decades, while others, such as the Haskell Language Server and Retrie, are much more recent. GHC has changed substantially in that time, and this presents a significant challenge...
Since 2015, FP Complete has been developing Stack and its associated backend infrastructure, and have donated the hardware resources, time, and expertise needed to make the services available to the community. Stack and Stackage have enabled Haskell development workflows that were not possible before, and the careful attention...
Releases notes
On the HF Slack instance, a user dropped by with a request: can programs that fail due to missing files be better about reporting to users which file was missing? The user in question is providing feedback about how many programs in Haskell can be improved in one fell swoop, but they’re not really in a position to fix it...
Hi all, I’ve been working for some time on the Eclair compiler (written in Haskell) and I am now at the point where I need to test the LLVM IR my compiler is generating. How would you approach testing this generated code?
Dear Haskell Community, Since May, 2022, I’ve had the honor and pleasure of serving as the Executive Director of the Haskell Foundation. As many of you know, I’ve had a deep and abiding interest in dependently-typed programming, formal verification, compile-time metaprogramming, and programmer tooling. A rare opportunity...
CLC seeks nominations for a vacant seat. Who should apply? Anyone who meets the following criteria should apply: Candidates should have enough bandwidth to review merge requests to base on a semi-frequent basis (3 to 5 per month), and sustain this for their 3 years term in a healthy manner. Candidates should be able to...

Hi everyone, The Cabal team would like to ask our users if anyone would object to the Nix Integration being removed (following a reasonable deprecation cycle). It has been reported to us that the feature is non-functional, misleading and the documentation lacking.
Hi, If you are a library maintainer or a commercial user of Haskell, we’ve got good news for you! We’ve created a template project for running GHC nightly builds. This will allow you to detect incompatibilities before they make it into a GHC release and inform the GHC developers! You can check it out here....
Perhaps we could also have a cabal doctests command?

9.2.8 is currently the recommended GHC in GHCup, but 9.2 branch won’t get a new release anymore. Stackage LTS-21.1 has moved to 9.4.5: LTS Haskell 21.1 (ghc-9.4.5) :: Stackage Server GHC developers expressed their feeling that 9.4.5 is a good release. It’s supported well by HLS too. What are your opinions? Are there still...
