I am once again asking GHC devs to make it possible for tooling such as HLint and the Haskell Language Server to compile against multiple versions of GHC.
I realise that this is a gigantic undertaking, but if you're wondering why people don't stick with Haskell, it might be because every compiler version upgrade breaks *everything*.

@… I'll see if I can get the attention of a GHC dev. The Haskell implementors' workshop is tomorrow, and I won't be attending that, but maybe I'll get lucky.

@… @… Agreed, I think GHC *used* to be primarily a place for experimentation, but now there's a lot more focus on industrial use cases.
IMO the real problem is that there are 2 people who actually work on it profess…

@… Oh, I totally get this. We had the same problem at my last job. Until we get a new GHC with a server-client architecture, I’m not holding my breath on a fix. (I hope to replace Cabal one day, but I’m not going to go and make a Haskell compiler. MicroHs is cool though.)
Maybe I met your coworkers! I didn’t go to any workshops because I’m lazy, I ju…
