Developing in Haskell. Lecturer is assuming we all use Windows. Some of us are better than that...but only some.

Wouldn't exactly say it's "better than that." The better than thou art mentality that some Linux (and Windows and MacOS users, but mainly Linux 🤷) users is pretty obnoxious.

Welcome to devRant though!

True... I tend to use it jokingly, I'd never shame a Windows user IRL. There are a lot of things that keep people on Windows, but I do find it a shame that one wouldn't use a Unix system for development. IME some things are a bitch to install and the command prompt is awful on Windows.

wtf, you can run haskell on windows?? ive been using haskell for like a year and i didnt even know that lol

also welcome to devr

@BindView @jhh2450 Thanks for welcoming me!

Yeah, turns out there's Haskell on Windows. Another thing - we haven't been taught how to put together a main method so we've just been testing with ghci...

Does your uni still use Haskell 7.something or is that just mine.

Ah I see, you are a man of culture as well

Stack works pretty well on Windows. Never had a problem with it. Stack + VSCode + extensions makes Haskell development on Windows a breeze.
And it's really easy to pull dependencies and compile via Stack on a Linux server when I'm deploying something. Cross platform, yay.
