haskell

[ratmav]

supported platforms:

• macos
• nixos
• windows

bootstrap (bash, powershell):

1. install nix
2. nix install dependencies (formerly done with brew)
3. install ghc(i), stack, cabal, etc.

haskell script:

1. symlink dotfiles
2. configure git
3. configure nvim
4. nvim plugin install
5. powerline fonts

[ratmav]

step one is getting haskell installed and learning enough haskell to write this.

[ratmav]

the ghc up script is niiiiiice. might be worth refactoring the rest of the bash to work that way (colored output, error, warn, info, scrolling subcommand output, etc.)

[ratmav]

almost definitely going to want to get the brew-nix replacement done on a macos...vm? man i wonder how i can pull that off. good news, found a burner macbook.

also, want to lint the os bootstrap scripts with https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck and https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer

[ratmav]

next step is to convert https://raw.githubusercontent.com/commercialhaskell/stack/stable/etc/scripts/get-stack.sh to do the stack install on *nix

[ratmav]

looked at the nix install instructions for macos, and it's a wad of hacks to get around disk security protections. just gonna ram it all into containers.

[ratmav]

nah. this haskell/nix/fp/monad (state as a data structure?!?!?!!!) thing is too interesting. reopening.

[ratmav]

nah. existing tools are already pretty solid. just need to wire it up, and i can learn about category theory and monads with a language i'll use more often on the job (like go).
