  "textContent": "Right, so, this extension, called `language-haskell` is the extension haskell/language-haskell on the marketplace. It is the direct successor of justusadam/language-haskell.\n\nIt provides solely syntax highlighting in vscode and is complementory to vscode-haskell/Haskell.\n\nWhy the change?\nThe old extension justusAdam/language-haskell was removed from the VSCode marketplace (note, not the same as openvsx which is the VSCodium marketplace), and the publisher `justusAdam` was deleted (for somewhat unclear reasons), making it tricky to re-upload the extension.\nThus, justus decided to donate `language-haskell` to the community so we can make releases and maintenance work.\nThis donated project is GitHub - haskell/language-haskell: Syntax highlighting support for Haskell in Visual Studio Code · GitHub now.\n\nIt might make sense to provide them in the same repository, not as the same extension, imo, as one deals with the language server and the other with the syntax highlighting. Reasonably, users should be able to change which one to use, so separate extensions makes sense to me (until I am convinced otherwise).\n\nMy personal recommendation for the Haskell setup on VSCode is:\n\n  * Haskell\n  * Haskell Syntax Highlighting\n  * Haskell Debugger\n\n",
