Re: [Haskell-beginners] Editor choices

I tend to search for unknown symbols on "Hayoo", which searches everything on Hackage (Haskell's public package repository): http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de/hayoo/hayoo.html I'd love to have a good Haskell IDE but I haven't found one that I've succeeded at installing & running yet. (I don't know whether Yi etc. are good because I failed to install it the last couple times I tried!) -Isaac On 04/18/2013 11:59 PM, Jeff Lasslett wrote:

There's just so much I don't know that I find myself wanting to look something up every minute or so. If the editor supported me in this regard I would really love it.

Usually when I'm inspecting something, I just go :ghci % and then :i the type I want. If by some chance I don't have a library installed that is needed, I just search for a function or type on hayoo and browse the hackage docs for that library.

There are ides for haskell, but I don't know how good they are. Yi is written in haskell, but I don't know how good it is. Eclipsefp is supposedly okay. I know I've seen some vim integration (haskellmode?) but I don't know how well it works. But I have never felt the absense of these tools in this language, personally.

Greetings,

So I find myself playing around with XMonad source code. I'm a long time Vim user and I've made a tags file to help me navigate the source code. I've got decent syntax highlighting.

What I lack is insight into the libs. I'd like the editor/IDE to tell me the type of a thing, or at least the module it is defined in. Is this a sensible question for haskell? I just don't want to have to hunt for where lib functions are defined (tags take me around the xmonad sources with drama).

So what editors/IDEs to people use for haskell to help with this? Or do you all just keep everything in your massive brains? :-)

Cheers, Jeff
