Having just presented a case for the possible rationality of the irrational decision of creating an Emacs-like IDE in Haskell, I wonder if we should not be even more irrational and contemplate the possibility of using Haskell to create a radically different kind of IDE.. New technologies are often used to imitate and reimplement the artefacts of previous technologies.
don't underestimate those "previous" technologies, though. given your you're almost certain to find this interesting: Croquet is a powerful open source software development environment
Thanks for the reference.
I actually knew about Croquet but I thought of it mostly as an "open-source second life" because of its emphasys on shared 3D worlds but you are quite right, it might also be useful for cooperative software development.
I must admit that my dream doesn't go so far, I was more thinking about Web/Web services kind of technology to integrate distributed traditional development text-based tools (editors, compilers, etc.) plus a configurable Web based UI.
