The online hangout for Göteborg Functional Programming Group and everybody interested.
So, finally I have #elmlang running one of the examples :)
yay!
why so painful?
they use haskell-platform (HP) to build, which isn't available on my distro-of-choice (HP is too old!)
so I had to work out how to build it using stack
lol that's the price you pay for being hipster
and then I ran into a bug
gotta stick to mainstream distros! :p
well, Arch is pretty mainstream I think
anyway, they really ought to leave using HP via ordinary cabal, since it requires you to install an old version of ghc
stack is a better way to build, completely local, i.e. no systemwide installs and ability to switch compiler version at will
good to know! I should check it out
yes, it's the shit... seriously, it is!
preparing a short post on how to use it to build elm now... hopefully my hosting provider will get its arse into gear and fix the ssh issue soon, then it'll be available for reading
could we setup a VM with all that shiznazz? just have everyone download it_
?
I can test https://hub.docker.com/r/nacyot/elm-elm/
@rippedspine sure, that would be the easiest way to make sure everyone can follow along.
I'd managed to build from source on osx flawlessly only a couple of days ago.
For a while, I was like "how is this possible ? Something should have blown up on the first time. It's Haskell and all that."
@magthe I'd love to see a detailed post on using stack.
but then you used the build script they have?
they are still on ghc 7.8 (HP) while that old a version isn't even available on Archlinux
Bam ! "Was that an Arch hipster I just heard ?"
:)
:D
luckily stack steps in to save me from myself ;)
I tried porting a basic cabal project once. Didn't work that great, but that was early on. Maybe it's better now.
I’m quite comfortable with Vagrant, so I can set up/find a box for our elm workshop. Or does anyone have any other preference?
@suvash I don't know anything about how it was done earlier, but nowadays there is no porting needed... stack mainly provides a better sandbox than
cabal-install's sandbox :)
@rippedspine vagrant is fine by me!
@rippedspine Vagrant sounds good, a VirtualBox image then?
it'd also be nice to know what you are going to put on it so that the ambitious one can install the same stuff herself/himself
ofcourse
(I like my new spacemacs setup too much to endure even 1-2h of anything else ;) )
we can make that a default, or mandatory if you’d rather
nah, that's way too much work, and I wouldn't dream of forcing emacs on to everyone
seems more like a mission for world domination
Hi! to the Haskellers among you with a project to showcase: the Haskell communities and activities report is accepting submissions until October 30 (I've just sent mine ^_^ )
@ocramz what project did you submit?
@magthe ^
likey? feel like contributing? :D
