Linux is the preferred environment for Haskell development, but getting everything set up can be a hassle. This series explores setting up NixOS Linux for Haskell development and is target toward Linux newbies.
Welcome to the first installment of my series about setting up Haskell development on NixOS Linux from scratch! I consider myself somewhere in the beginning-intermediate stages of Haskell skill, having created a useful application for Windows as learning exercise. However, … Continue reading
In the last post of this series, we set up a VM to run NixOS using VirtualBox. Now we actually need to go ahead and install NixOS. We’ll be installing it into our VM, but if you are installing it … Continue reading
Welcome to part 3 of my series on setting up NixOS for Haskell development! In this part, we’ll learn how to discover and install essential software for NixOS. We won’t cover the particulars of installing Haskell-related components (I’m saving that … Continue reading
In this installment, we are going to set up vim for Haskell development. If you don’t want to use vim, you can skip this post entirely. On the other hand, if you do want to use vim or are at … Continue reading
