  Description     : Haskell Development Environment and Language Server

 GHCIDE is the recommended [1] tool supporting a wide range of editors (Vim,
 Emacs, VSCode etc. [2]), crucial for Haskell development. Recently, there
 are many interest in its development, and has joined forces [3] with others
 to build haskell-language server (hls) [4], so Debian could provide a single
 package hls (hls contains ghcide internally). Hls provides officially built
 binaries in their Github Release page.

It has more functionality and better support than older haskell development
packages such as happy, hlint, ghc-mod etc.
