If that kind of thing were to be extra common in #haskell to the point of spawning unterminably long discussions and create a lot of noise (which is still arguably good noise) then maybe an extra channel could make sense.

Personally, the cause is good, the mean is questionable. Obviously I wish you a great success and would love to be proved wrong.

Cheers,

Recently I announced a #haskell-atom IRC channel. It has been very quiet. Also today I'm having better success with Intellij IDEA. These things change..

Perhaps a channel for all IDEs & dev setups is more useful. #haskell-ide already exists, so I have added some links there and plan to hang out for a while and see if it catches on. All welcome!

/topic for #haskell-ide:

Hi all,

Recently I helped a newcomer set up Haskell and Atom (the text
editor/IDE - not the embedded systems DSL), and also for the first time
succeeded in getting a "modern IDE experience" working with my own
projects. I've saved my notes so far - I hope you'll also find them useful:

https://github.com/simonmichael/haskell-atom-setup

In the process I found some issues, looked for help in many places, and
wished the #haskell-atom IRC channel existed. So I've started it:

#haskell-atom on Freenode

I'm an Emacs man, but I try all the available Haskell IDEs periodically.
Atom is the first one where I've succeeded in getting inline error
reporting working, and it's the only one I could recommend to a new
programmer or a mainstream IDE lover right now. So I think this channel
is worth having, and will grow. All welcome!

Best,
-Simon
