Haskell syntax highlighting is disabled in helix-editor by default.
This is because of an issue compiling tree-sitter-haskell on M1 macs,
as its default compilier doesn't support c++14.
As we're using a nix-derived toolchain, we shouldn't be subject to
this problem.

See this comment for more info.

    • x86_64-linux
    • aarch64-linux

Haskell syntax highlighting is disabled in `helix-editor` by default.
This is because of an issue compiling tree-sitter-haskell on M1 macs,
as its default compiler doesn't support c++14.
As we're using a nix-derived toolchain, we shouldn't be subject to
this problem.

Should the default language.toml be also patched to enable haskell-highlighting?
Otherwise everyone has to populate ~/.config/helix/language.toml with uncommented haskell block.
What about reverting helix-editor/helix@59f94d1 instead?

I'd like at least a successful test report from aarch64-darwin.

Closing in favour of reenabling Haskell support upstream: helix-editor/helix#1417

Unfortunately, the change didn't make it into 0.6.0, but maybe we'll get a minor release soon enough.
