I tried using Intellij IDEA for GHC development (~870k lines of Haskell, some C on top) and the only thing it did was freeze, gulp on much of the RAM I have, and shit itself profusely. Any other good IDE that I could use? Emacs doesn't seem exciting anymore.
@icon_of_computational_sin does #VSCode also choke? I can ask my company's GHC department what do they use to edit GHC.
@jonn VSCode is something I would rather avoid, because Microsoft. Also, because it doesn't allow putting NyanCat into the status bar. The latter is actually much worse.
@icon_of_computational_sin experts say: "they should use VSCode, even though there are some people in our team that use NeoVim. There are no special configuration options to be aware of, but we strongly suggest having at least 64GB of RAM".
@jonn if experts say they should use VSCode, I don't mind. I'm not an expert and I'll probably continue poking Emacs.
@icon_of_computational_sin did you just assume they would have assumed your gender?!
@jonn I detest the use of "they" as singular.
