What is the current advice for getting a haskell dev env set up on windows? There's a lot of options, and it can be hard to quickly determine which are current and which are deprecated/bit-rotted. For example, apparently cabal sandbox is preferred over cabal-dev these days. I've read: http://onoffswitch.net/started-haskell/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/304614/haskell-on-windows-setup http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2013-08-20-Cabal-sandbox.html http://bob.ippoli.to/archives/2013/01/11/getting-started-with-haskell/ I've installed the latest haskell platform (2014.2), and am using Sublime Text 2 as my editor. SublimeHaskell is installed, but apparently it needs aeson, haskell-src-ext, and haddock. cabal install aeson indicates that it will break unordered-containers-0.2.4.0 and case-insensitive-1.1.0.3, so I must use --force-reinstalls to get it. I'm doing this in a sandbox, in case it is a terrible idea. https://github.com/SublimeHaskell/SublimeHaskell Not yet sure how I'm going to get the sandbox install of these tools to work with SublimeHaskell. Presumably some PATH magic? hdevtools looks cool and seems like it can be used from SublimeHaskell, although a windows install is from a fork. Will install ghc-mod too. What else am I missing?
