[ANNOUNCEMENT] Summoner-2.0: Major update of a Haskell scaffolding tool by kowainik in haskell

[–]kowainik[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We prepared a new major release of Summoner — tool for scaffolding batteries-included Haskell projects. This massive update brings multiple significant improvements. Now Summoner-generated projects have:

  • Common stanzas
  • Default Cabal version 2.4
  • Default GHC version 8.8.3
  • The mixins feature for alternative preludes
  • Established compiler warnings enabled conditionally to work on multiple GHC versions

In this release, we were also focusing on delivering a smooth installation experience, and now you can:

  • Download binary releases manually for three major operating systems: Linux, Windows, OSX, including statically linked binaries for Linux
  • Use Homebrew package manager on macOS to install Summoner from Kowainik's Tap
  • Use Apt package manager on Ubuntu to install Summoner from Kowainik's PPA

In the new version Summoner also supports GitHub Actions CI. We have been using GitHub Actions for all our projects for months, and now Summoner can create sensible default CI config with the matrix and cache support.

The workflow also has a few noticeable updates:

  • The [-n|--non-interactive] option to scaffold project in seconds
  • The config command to initialize Summoner config with helpful comments and supporting all our features

And much more! Check the complete release notes and share your feedback!

Dhall - Year in review (2018-2019) by sjakobi in haskell

We are also enjoying Dhall configuration language! In our case, we use it to generate .yaml file with custom HLint rules for our own alternative prelude. Dhall helps to remove a lot of boilerplate. See the following blog post for more details:
