Trying to use in nvim, like I do with hls.

I'm not exactly sure what the next step is, but I'd be glad to help.

I also got different errors trying to install it as a "binary dependency" inside another stack project using lts-19.33, but I figured the first step was to make sure I could checkout and compile the most recent version.

Current master builds fine on Debian stable with stack install (which stack from haskell-stack package).

Still can't figure out how to use this LSP with neovim, but that's a separate issue.
