Personally I don't want an IDE, just solid integration with existing editors.
I didn't fully understand the power of this until I started working with Rust and VS Code. It's a really first-class experience. Hints and type errors show up so immediately and responsively in the editor with complete contextual information that I can develop essentially an entire library or application without ever running a build once. It makes me feel like I can just tear through hundreds or thousands of lines of code because I'm getting so much constant feedback on everything I write.
- Koshkin 6y agoWhat you are saying is that you do not want an Integrated DE, just a DE with Integration.
- nilkn 6y agoI get the snark, but the comment I was replying to was talking about per-language IDEs, as has been common in the past, and I was saying I don't care about an IDE developed specifically for Haskell and in fact don't want anything separate. I've never been able to productively use HIE with any editor despite claims here in this thread that it works and is ready for general use. Whenever I have managed to get it mostly working, it breaks as soon as I try to use it with a different Haskell project.
