Windsurf + Haskell w/ CLI tools has been pretty amazing. Windsurf's agent will loop for minutes on its own to figure out the right structure of a program. You just need to tell it to:

- use the hoogle cli to search for the right types and functions

- include a comprehensive test suite

- run a build after every code change

- run tests after every successful build

GHC + a Claude-based agent is a thing to behold.

Woah, that sounds awesome! I'd love to see how you set that up and how much it can do without your intervention/approval for various actions. Might you have a video of your workflow that you could share?
Sure, I'll record a little something with Loom for you tomorrow.
OP will surely deliver, let's just wait.
I am curious on this setup, did you ever publish a video?
fascinating, would love to see this as well when you do.
Please, me too!
I’d love to take a look as well!
Also interested!
What's the maximum file size for which this is useful in your experience? I have been refactoring some project solely to enable AI code editors to edit it. Some users in the discord suggest a maximum file size of 500LOC or small, which seems unreasonable.
