Some of you have been wondering what has happened to the haskell-ide-engine[1], and whether it may perhaps have died.
Development has resumed, based mainly on the existence of an enabling technology in the Language Server Protocol[2] which is starting to have implementations for IDEs and Languages[3].
I'm really happy that this effort is still underway. I'm also quite happy to hear that we will be able to build on LSP. last summer at Zurihac Simon Meier was very excited about the potential of LSP. Hopefully HIE will be the project he was hoping for. What is the state of LSP support in the vim/emacs worlds? I suppose haskell-mode will need to learn to speak the protocol? Thanks Alan!
