  "textContent": "Hi all,\n\nIn preparation for ZuriHac, I’d love to have some help on a few\nhaskell-debugger issues.\n\nThese issues are especially relevant here because they will help more people\nuse the debugger, and I do hope to onboard more people to using it in Zurich!\n\n(Hopefully, some of you will even want to hack on these or other Haskell\ndebugger features/bugs there).\n\nIf you want to work on any of these, do reply in the issue thread, to make sure\ntwo people don’t end up doing overlapping work:\n\n  * Emacs Support: we’ve got instructions and tested the debugger with VSCode, nvim-dap, and vimspector; however, we need an Emacs user to take the lead in setting up `haskell-debugger` with a DAP plugin, testing it, and writing down how to do it for other users (@simonpj is on Emacs, and I have yet to get him to try the debugger).\n\n  * Installing with stack fails: Stack users! Please help make the debugger installable using stack. I don’t know what the required details are, so do come help.\n\n  * Ship via GHCup: GHCup now supports 3rd party tools, and @hasufell suggested we start distributing `haskell-debugger` through GHCup in this way. Installation is currently a bit subtle (because of the flags we must pass to `cabal-install`), so providing ready to use binaries in GHCup would be excellent.\n\n  * New Debugger Logo: We would love to have a cool logo for the debugger VSCode extension! It should ideally be recognizable when seen at a “small” scale on the VSCode marketplace.\n\n\n",
