Welcome Haskell Mode users, Haskell Mode progress report for December 2015. For previous issue see November 2015 https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-... . Reddit discussion https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/3z063t/month_in_haskell_mode_decem... . https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-December-...What is Haskell Mode? Haskell Mode is an umbrella project for multiple Emacs tools for efficient Haskell development. Haskell Mode is an open source project developed by a group of volunteers constantly looking for contributions. For more information see https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode. https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-December-...Important developments Font locking now knows how to use language specific syntax coloring for quasi quotes. {-# LANGUAGE QuasiQuotes #-} query conn [sql| SELECT column_a, column_b FROM table1 NATURAL JOIN table2 WHERE ? <= time AND time < ? AND name LIKE ? ORDER BY size DESC LIMIT 100 |] (beginTime,endTime,string) Indentation learned how to indent multiline strings with continuation escapes, for example: main = putStrLn "Multiline\n\ \Hello\n\ \World!\n" https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-December-...Current project focus Current project focus is to lower entry barrier for newcomers by defining bite-sized tasks. Get 50 'well-defined-tasks' done as by the metric: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Awell-def... A 'well-defined-task' is a category of tasks that have the field cleared for them, questions already sorted out and detailed information how to get them done. So you can just sit, search for 'well-defined-task' label and enjoy the coding! The point is to lower the entry barrier for new users, new issue reporters and advanced programmers but Emacs lisp beginners to contribute to the project. Current status: 14 well-defined-tasks closed https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Awell-def... plus 13 more open https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Awell-def... .
