Atom is not highlighting Haskell syntax?

Question

I am using Haskell in Atom text editor version 1.23.1 on Mac. Other languages syntax is highlighted correctly but when I code in Haskell the text editor does not highlight the syntax correctly and shows it as plain text. I have tried searching for it and found that in Atom pressing ctrl-shift-L I can temporarily change the grammar. However, there is no option for Haskell as can be seen in the screenshot below.

The screenshot below shows what I am expecting.

Is there anything that I might have done wrong? Can anyone give me a clear and easy solution to this problem. Thank you

Haskell support unfortunately doesn't come packaged with atom. Use the language-haskell package.

The language-haskell package, according to the page 'Adds syntax highlighting and snippets to Haskell files in Atom.' It comes with support for .hs, .lhs, and .cabal files.

You can find help on installing atom packages here.

If you want to talk about adding Haskell support, or changing atom features, it seems that the atom forum would be the best place to do so.
