If you compare the old PHP-based code generators with the newer Haskell-based one's , the PHP-based code gen's have much more readable code.

One low hanging fruit is to replace the normal haskell

deploying libraries can take a long time. One can easily skip this stage if we make it possible to save the deployed library state and pass it to dapp test:

1. Write a new little dapp helper script which is the dapp --library-addresses above
2. Make dapp build and dapp --make-library-state use this helper script instead
3. Allow a flag --state to be passed to dapp test (probably a

When trying out Niv and following the example from the readme to add GHC:

$ niv add ghc   \
    -v 8.4.3    \
    -t 'https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/<version>/ghc-<version>-i386-deb8-linux.tar.xz'

But instead using the latest ghc version (9.0.1 as of writing), I get the following error:

$ niv add ghc -v 9.0.1 -t 'https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/<version>/ghc-<versi

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In order to consult the stdlib's documentation, I have to read its source

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to generate just enough markdown from the metadata of values (such as the stdlib, but not only) in other to stitch together a documentation page.

I think this could be implemented cheaply for no

Otherwise one might get an error like:

cachix push /nix/store/7i1kqf6x52l1fhqqdmqgggjr0zigggik-cachix-0.1.3/bin/cachix

I'm wondering if it's possible with haskell.nix to generate HIE files for some component(s). These are explained here and allow you to do static analysis of Haskell code. In particular, they can be used to run weeder.

If you pass -fwrite-ide-info to GHC, it will emit these files. By defa
