Has to be Sublime Text 3 since Sublime Text 2 does not have LSP plugin.

<<Casual thought. Is there a way you can distinguish between the different alternatives a bit better? That is, after finishing reading the section about Windows, you go into talking about installing Nix on your OS and still discuss Windows in that section, which gives the impression that it's the next step to follow (...but of course, Nix doesn't work on Windows native and all of the earlier Stack/HIE instructions will need to be done again if you do want to install Nix inside WSL or a VM).

From the Reddit thread, I can kind of tell (wink) that you want to encourage people not to develop on Windows. So maybe you can title the sections:

• Option I: Windows (...instead of just Windows)
• Option II: Install Nix on your Operating System (RECOMMENDED)
  etc

Or even put your recommended install method first and the Windows alternatives toward the bottom>> - _Pete on Discord

Maybe add a section comparing these options as well, so something like ‘WSL doesn’t require complex setup but is command-line only by default, a VM gives a more complete experience but can require some complex setup and takes up more memory, Windows-only can be more convenient to set up but can lead to build difficulties’. - brdcrn

Folder structure: OS/Linux/Debian.hs, OS/Linux/NixOS.hs
Refactor NixOS specific code into NixOS.hs and write the Debian code in the Debian.hs file.
Use Nix to install everything.
Add the Nix packages to ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix or whatever config file the user is using.

Implement using either Powershell, CMD or some Haskell script (Turtle Script?)

Point out the another way of enabling Win32 long paths (see Option 2).

This might be generating a .deb file. You will have to look into it.
For generating .deb: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-debian

The levels at which NW.js system level installation could be done are: .deb file, nix configuration, cabal configuration or using Haskell code when program is run first time. You will have to think which option would be best and discuss it before you implement it.

See: #5

As a Haskell developer, I want the ability to use an appropriate linux base image, and build a docker image that will include the Haskell compiler, Cabal, Git, and other useful tools, so that I can easily write Haskell applications on any machine capable of using the docker container. Optionally include Nix configuration files such that these tools will be pulled in when accessing the nix-shell.

See: https://stackoverflow.com/q/57642572/750216

Having setup instructions is good but it would be best to have the option of having a GUI where the desired options can be chosen and then automated setup based on target OS/WSL and target editor(s) desired will be run.

To do this we can create a setup Haskell GUI program using Turtle and other needed libs.

Anything that can be automated should be automated, beep bop - Future Robot Overlords

We are just going to go with Miso + Electron

Instead of running the GUI in the browser at http://localhost:8080/ change so that it will run in a NW.js window.

To run the app use turtle library to start nw program after starting the server, and then use cabal run for example.

Package using Nix so that the project can be published to Nixpkgs.

The Nix packaging should ideally work on all the Linux distributions.
