It would be nice if the starter projects included a hie.yaml so that editors with Haskell support don't give warnings about defaulting to implicit-hie when the file is missing.

When creating for example a small counter:

counter = register 0 ( counter + 1)

counter already requires a domain to be sampled. If you´d want to make this a counter for System.
You can´t make the type simply Signal System (Unsigned 8) because register requires HiddenClockResetEnable dom.

For System, you now have to explicitly supply HiddenClockResetEnable System, which you can't because FlexibleContexts is not enabled by default. Now the user must also figure out what LANGUAGE pragmas are and how to set FlexibleContexts.

I think all these steps introduce a lot of friction and our template projects should maybe show how to deal with more of these situations.

Add these options to Clash in in the starter projects too
