Welcome Haskell Mode users, Haskell Mode progress report for November 2015 (online version https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-... ). For previous issue see October 2015 https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-October-2... . Go to Reddit discussion https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/3uz7jl/month_in_haskell_mode_novem... . https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-...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. For more information see https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode. https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-...Important developments The bug that everybody was waiting for https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues/962 was fixed! No more 'Illegal token' in indentation. Rejoice! https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-...Coming release In the beginning of December we plan to tag new stable release of haskell-mode with current state of the repo (plus possible bugfixes). https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-...Competitive projects Haskell editor landscape is growing and there are compelling propositions all over the place: - Atom IDE-Haskell https://atom.io/packages/ide-haskell - Haskell Vim IDE https://github.com/begriffs/haskell-vim-now - Leksah - Haskell IDE in Haskell http://leksah.org/ - Haskell for Mac http://haskellformac.com/ There is an idea turning into reality that there should be a common infrastructure powering all of the above. It is brewing in Haskell IDE Engine https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine repo. https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-...Cruft removal, reminder Last month we declared that we plan to remove some cruft. Note that SCC functions got salvaged and now they are fully functional part of haskell-mode! Killing list for December: - Remove haskell-bot.el https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/pull/960 - Remove horizontal whitespace based smart indentation mode haskell-simple-indent https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/pull/958 - Remove Unicode input method https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/pull/939 - Remove haskell-checkers.el https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/pull/959 https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Month-in-Haskell-Mode-November-...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... .
