How much interest would there be in a 0 to full Haskell development environment set of ansible scripts (and or Vagrantfile)? I'm working on a start up using Haskell at the moment and I've been capturing all of my set up in this way. If folks are interested I can make some of this stuff available.

Yes, but I'd be more interested in how you put it together than the end product. A good blog post breaking your process and components down would be fantastic.

What do you install and setup apart from ghc/i?

Emacs config. Latest versions of cabal cabal-install. A work around for the brokenness of the Haskell platform on ubuntu 13.04. Threadscope. Proper cabal setup for testing. Jenkins setup for CI from the start.

Also investigation dockerizing Haskell services too.

I'd be more than interested to see what you got. I want to introduce Haskell to our production soon, but am still not sure about the whole process of managing it at scale. This would definitely help as an info if nothing else.

Do you have a good ~/.cabal/config auto-installed with library profiling enabled?

Yes, but I have moved to doing most stuff in sandboxes now and cabal repl is not playing nice with profiling at the moment.

this would be very interesting

Up voted. Please post a link.

hdevtools, hoogle, hlint

Yep, those are all installed as part of my emacs set up.

Yes, this would be very interesting. I'm trying to put together something similar for a Haskell environment for NixOS. It should be easy, but less versatile.

I use NixOS, how far have you got/what are your goals?
