In the case of linters, they can teach you the language’s idioms and best practices while you write your first lines of code. Here’s how to set up a new project in Haskell and configure vim for Haskell. Basic vim setup for Haskell What you’re going to need: Vim 8 Your .vimrc A vim package manager (here I use vundle) Airline (Vim status bar) ALE (Linting engine) ghcmod-vim (Reveal types inline) Haskell / ghc Stack ghc-mod, hlint, hdevtools, hfmt This tutorial assumes you already have Vim 8 installed.
