Hi,
A late reply…
Distopico <distopico@riseup.net> skribis:

I don’t think the project makes “plans” for such things. To me, it
looks like mostly a matter of packaging; if ‘haskell-language-server’ is
missing, then some Haskeller may eventually feel the need to package it.
You can hope it’ll be someone else, but perhaps you’ll find that doing
it yourself is worth trying. :-)
Regarding customization, ‘--with-input’ and perhaps other transformation
options may correspond to your needs:

My dayjob has to do with HPC and I think Guix is a good fit for them.
But developers, whether in HPC or not, are definitely a target audience
IMO. I believe Guix has great tools for development; that’s the spirit
of this blog post:

Thanks for your feedback!
