The best thing that Leksah can turn into (and something that Haskell desperately needs) is a Haskell version of Eclipse,
because as Java has a weakness of being incredibly verbose (which Eclipse gets around with very easily, try coding Java
in vim!!!), Haskell being a statically typed language has a weakness that in non trivial code, types can
become convoluted and 'piping' functions together becoming complicated, something that a very smart code completion
along with very powerful refactoring techniques that Eclipse has would do wonders.
The one thing that Haskell is missing is a proper editing environment, and at least in my opinion one of the major
things that a language needs to become widely adopted (unless its a first like perl,C was) is a proper editing
environment that is approachable for newer people but remains powerful for advanced users
