I recently spent some time showing someone the basics of haskell by teaching them to build a website in hakyll. Building a site with the ssg hakyll should give someone basic experience for setting up their own development environment for using haskell in general. And for my own purposes it gives me the opportunity to spread the word about Vervis.

I will use this post to brain dump and to record some recommendations or lessons learned when showing someone else how to use Haskell.

1.1 Use stack over cabal

Use stack over cabal to install packages unless stack does not suffice.

A fresh debian install might need to do this:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install ghc ghc-prof ghc-doc zlib1g-dev
