Hi Bulat,

1) F#, is Ocaml dialect integrated in .NET environment 2) Clean, very Haskell-like language with a commercial IDE, GUI libs and so on 3) Business Objects, integration of Haskell-like language into Java environment, http://labs.businessobjects.com/cal

I use WinHugs, and it suits my style of working better than many of these IDE's when teamed with TextPad. Admitedly this has a large amount to do with me rewriting WinHugs to support me, but I think its a useful model for people who want a development environment. GuiHaskell will be even closer to my perfect integrated environment. Again, not a coincidence. Haskell is not as good for IDE integration, C# is because it has lots of redundancy, lots of long names etc. Haskell might be if qualified imports were used more, but typically the code is already short, so having an IDE type some of it for you is impractical without adding language redundancy. Maybe automatic type notes would help a bit, but again, I'm not convinced of their value. I use Visual Studio for C#, and it's great. Really, this is how a debugger should integrate with a code editor, the Haskell community has nothing that can rival the C# debugger, but should be working on this. I have used the Clean development environment, it felt like a clunky text editor. I was not very impressed, if I had taken time to learn its features, I may have felt more at home - but thats not what I do. Visual Studio is intuative, Clean was not. I really like my IDE's, using WinHugs I do not long for the return of an IDE. Thanks Neil
