What's up with the formatting on this page? In Firefox for iOS (same rendering engine as mobile Safari), all lines but the first one in code listings have 4-character indents, and lines use a larger-than-normal font size seemingly at random.

I'm pretty sure this (evolving) article has been around well before VSCode's initial release.
I'm sure you are right. That is just picking at one thing I will admit, but I do use vscode, so when I saw a section about how to best use haskell in vscode i was interested. I'm not interested enough, or as a beginner qualified, to evaluate 7 options.
We've come a really long way in just the past 3 years with IDE stuff. I suggest you give it another try if you're still interested in diving into Haskell.
Great timing. I was just pondering what functional programming language I should attempt to learn in all my new downtime.
Haskell is fun, but bear in mind that it's followes a purely functional programming paradigm, meaning you either do things the Haskell or you don't do them :). But it's a fun language to learn, and there are lots of free quality ressources on the internet
I feel this might have grown beyond its title. Picking the point where I gave up, giving me a list of 7 vscode plugins, without any guidance as to which are more mature, doesnt feel like a thing anyone would wish to know before they start.

To me at least, “things I wish I knew” implies it’s some sort of companion to a real language guide/tutorial/book, not a replacement for one.

I'd say that it's one take on that paradigm, the Way of Monads is not the only way to do purely functional, Clean uses uniqueness typing instead. Though it otherwise has rather similar properties to Haskell.

What do you mean by "either do things the Haskell (way) or you don't do them"? Isn't that the same with every language? I still don't understand why people put all sorts of unfair labels on Haskell. By labelling Haskell with "fun", we almost make it sound like it can't be used in production.
