These sort of umbrella resources help create a sense of cohesiveness in the community, making it more welcoming to newcomers. #Haskell is more popular, but it could still learn from how much #PureScript's community efforts have achieved in the past 2-3 years.
@haskman I don’t get it… For packages we have Hackage (and Flora.pm). For short links(?). Why have a centralized repo of that?
@dpwiz It's not just for purescript packages. It's a place to get authoritative urls for all sorts of community resources. A good example is on the page itself, https://purescri.pt/registry leads to the github repo for the new purescript registry.
@haskman The registry doesn’t have it’s own domain?.. okay, maybe it doesn’t. So, what would be a good example for Haskell?
@dpwiz "ghc", "stack", "cabal", "hls", "ghcid", "intero"? "rwh", "haskellbook", "lyah"? Do you see the possibilities now?
@haskman Out of the provided examples ghc and cabal are up. I think I would like stack in there too.
Also present: ghcup… And the rest of the stuff that is already there.
- hls - looks linkable
- ghcid - okay, some people are using it.
- intero - dead?..
- the books…. get outdated rather quickly. and some of them are commercial products. I wouldn’t champion those.
Okay, let’s go and make PRs now.
