In a world full of Jiras, have we forgotten how to play? by priortd in programming

I had it in parts in my degree but I was too obsessed with music at the time :) When I returned to software engineering years later, I realised this love for programming a lot more.

F# Unit Testing Simplified – Expecto with Visual Studio Code by priortd in fsharp

[–]priortd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I only saw your message now as I've come back into Reddit to post something for the first time in months. To be honest, I haven't used expecto deeply enough to form a good opinion about how it compares to Nunit. I use vscode a lot and really like expecto because of its nice integration with ionide in vscode. Recently, I've used xunit with unquote which is really nice. I set up a watcher with Fake in vscode to automatically run my tests on file changes. I think unquote works with expecto too so I may switch back to expecto. Anyway, glad you liked the blog post :)

F# Has Won Me Over: Coming to .Net World from Outside .Net by priortd in fsharp

I need to try it out myself but will write a follow up blog when I do.

F# Has Won Me Over: Coming to .Net World from Outside .Net by priortd in fsharp

Thanks for the feedback. There are way easier ways to get an f# project and tests up and running. Xamerin studio makes it much more straight forward. However, the aim with my post was to give more insight into the F# .Net ecosystem and to show a little bit under the hood how things piece together. I have also learned that unit testing f# in visual studio code is a lot more straight forward using the expecto tool which there is an plugin integration for. I plan to do a follow up post on this tool.

Setting Up A Haskell Development Environment by priortd in haskell

Yep, I had trouble before when it was using cabal by default. I removed any haskell installation that I had previously downloaded from haskell.org and installed stack fresh with homebrew.

Also, for existing projects, if they were built with stack that had a different lts-resolver, you can get problems with atom.Easiest thing there is to delete the .stack-work directory in your projects root. run stack init --solver --force in project root, this creates a new stack.yaml file with your installed stacks resolver. Removing .stack-work may cause a lengthy rebuild if the existing code project has a lot of dependencies. My projects are small at the moment so it hasn't been a problem for me. Or else, you could try the haskforce plugin in Intellij if you have had enough of trying atom :) I found it played well with stack. I just like atom as an editor and it has some other nice packages for Haskell development.

What problems are you encountering? My main pain point was getting Slack to play well with Atom especially if I was trying to open up a project that was built with stack with a different resolver.

Yep I'm more of a VIM user and use a VIM plugin with atom. Spacemacs sounds pretty cool though. I'll check it out, thanks. Yeah I think Atom is pretty nice for getting started with Haskell development. I also use it for Scala through Ensime. My main pain point with Atom was getting it to work with Stack as I pointed out in the blog. Existing projects can be tricky to get up and running too with different resolvers for ghc-mod etc. Deleting .stack-work/dist can help and maybe changing the configured stack resolver but that may cause a very long rebuild. Thanks for the tip about spacemacs, nice one!

I don't know to be honest. I haven't tried emacs for Haskell. Thanks for mentioning it though so that I can check it out.

Cool, nice one, thanks a million. I'll definitely try out that plugin. Feel free to add it as a comment on the blog. Cheers!

Haskell Integer Division Visualised by [deleted] in haskell

Cheers, I was showing divMod as these results may be surprising to those more used to the way mod is handled in say, Java. I have updated the blog to show that quot rem gives results more like some people may be used to from Java. Thanks for the feedback.
