Bulat,
Thanks for the suggestions (by the way, very good article on IO). Some
comments below.

- background compilation with errors highlighting
There is already some support for background compilation using GHC. Error highlighting doesn't still work as I'd like to, but is there too.
- syntax highlighting, including highlighting of bracket's pair
There is already some of this too, although it may not be exactly what you have in mind.
- ability to "fall in" definition of identifier under cursor
Being worked on. Should be one of the leading features on the next release, together with some more code completion.
- automatic management of import lists
Being worked on, together with code completion. I would like some more detail here, though.
- auto-indenting with user-tuned style
This one seems very challenging and interesting, not a must-have for me but a very attractive feature. I have purposely left some items behind, just because resources are limited and we need to focus on some more valuable features. Do you think the ones I selected are the most valuable ones? Would you mind to delve into some more detail on the topics above on the EclipseFP mailing list? I am particularly interested on these four (in order of priority): - ability to "fall in" definition of identifier under cursor - automatic management of import lists - syntax highlighting - auto-indenting with user-tuned style You can subscribe to our mailing list on http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/eclipsefp-develop
Are you use GHC library?
Not yet, but it may turn to be a very wise decision to make in the future. EclipseFP is being written in Java, I wonder how the GHC library would be accessed on such a environment. Need to take a look at the paper. Cheers, Thiago Arrais
