Oh yeah.. evil programmer wanting 20 dollars from you. Good thing you saw through his plot and held them safe in your purse. We definitely all know what you know is 100% true, no one ever uses Haskell for anything else than web services and systems level programming.

BTW, a little late here... but my comment was actually intended as pure sarcasm over the fact that anyone would so angrily scoff at the idea of paying $20 to a fellow developer and Haskell enthusiast, who is just trying to help others enjoy the language. Sarcasm is tough.

Haha, you didn't lay it on thick enough ;)

Your installation would appear to be anomalous, as such reversion of that (or indeed, any) preference isn't the norm.

Nope. Tested it on three different systems and it happens every single upgrade.

It hasn't happened to me, on any Mac that I use. 7 different OS installs (I develop for iOS and Mac professionally) something is wrong with your profile that you are restoring or something. That's not the standard MacOS behavior.

I bought it. If someone (cough)Jetbrains were to offer a full blown IDE with code-navigation, refactoring tools, smart autocomplete etc etc. I would pay them 10 times as much.

Is a full blown IDE (ala IntelliJ) really necessary for Haskell?

Wrong question to be asking.

What can a great IDE add to the experience of learning / using Haskell?

The only way I can get features that are important to my daily work is to interpose system processes. So no, I don't welcome "SIP". There are better ways to solve that problem.

There really aren't better ways to solve that on a mass scale at this time. I intend no offense but to be honest I care much more about my system's security vs your need to interpose system processes. SIP is a step in the correct direction for security. Is it perfect or a catch all? No of course not but it's another layer of security that helps the situation overall.

And this is why we can't have nice things.

I recommend that you tally up the revolutionary technologies produced over the last 30 years that allowed us to get to this point (including the web), and then consider how many of them could be invented on Mac OS or iOS today.

The problem is having to use a Mac. I guess that I could spin up my Yosemite virtual machine...

I think having to run a VM you don't often use is kind of defeating the purpose of the app. If you're willing to run a VM for a single app you are probably the type of person who is willing to spend the time to set up a Haskell tool chain and libraries for free. Although I am most definitely not that type of person, all I care about is playing with the language. Anything detrimental to that is just noise and not wort…

I already have the Haskell toolchain and libraries. It merely required the command "apt-get install haskell-platform". However, the Haskell Playgrounds feature that Chakravarty offers sounds interesting enough to spin up a Mac VM.
