Last night I helped a friend get setup using GHC via devenv.sh. We used this devenv.nix file (that works for me):

{ pkgs, ... }:

{
  packages = [ pkgs.ghc
               pkgs.git
               pkgs.haskell-language-server
               pkgs.hlint
               pkgs.stylish-haskell
             ];

  languages.haskell.enable = true;
  languages.nix.enable     = true;
}

We got the "ormolu cycle". Ugh.

In our case, the workaround was for me to have him delete his devenv.lock file and replace it with mine (which points to older stuff).

But this means anyone trying GHC via devenv is going to hit this. Not a good first look.

This has been fixed :)
