HaRe works with both Emacs and VIM; you can also use it from a command prompt meaning that it can be integrated into any tool that you require. Indeed, there was even some investigation of porting it to Sub Etha Edit with great success!
Cool! I'll check it out. However, I'm using some GHC extensions, so that is indeed a show stopper :)
You mean a syntax-directed editor, right?
Yes, but also that a compiler should directly read the syntax tree; the frontend part of the compiler should really be the editor, providing round-trip editing between text <-> AST. Nothing new really, I used to work with a 6502 assembler on the Commodore 64 that did exactly that :) Cheers, Peter
