Type at point in an IDE helps. You can also use type holes and let the compiler infer types that you can use as a guide to fill in.

- xenomachina 9y agoYeah, I feel like a powerful enough IDE could probably make Haskell usable. Something that made the types obvious, and also the nesting of subexpressions. Despite trying for 3 years, I never felt like I could even reliably parse Haskell code in my head (too many fixity rules, not enough parens) let alone infer the types of things.
