\texttt{ghc-mod} is both a backend program for enhancing editors and other kinds
|
|
of development environments with support for Haskell, and an Emacs package
|
|
providing the user facing functionality, internally called \texttt{ghc} for
|
|
historical reasons. Others have developed front ends for Vim, Atom and a few
|
|
other proprietary editors.
|
|
|
|
This summer's two month \texttt{ghc-mod} hacking session was mostly spent
|
|
(finally) getting a release supporting GHC 7.10 out the door as well as fixing
|
|
bugs and adding full support for the \textit{Stack} build tool.
|
|
|
|
Since the last report the \textit{haskell-ide} project has seen the light of day
|
|
(or rather been revived). There we are planning to adopt \texttt{ghc-mod} as a
|
|
core component to use its environment abstraction.
|
|
|
|
The \textit{haskell-ide} project itself (maybe soon to be called
|
|
\textit{ghc-ide-engine}) is aiming to be the central component of a unified
|
|
Haskell Tooling landscape.
|
|
|
|
\texttt{ghc-mod}'s mission statement remains the same but in the future it will
|
|
be but one, important, component in a larger ecosystem of Haskell Tools.
|
|
|
|
We are looking forward to \textit{haskell-ide} making the Haskell Tooling
|
|
landscape a lot less fragmented. However until this project produces meaningful
|
|
results life goes on and \texttt{ghc-mod} needs to be maintained.
|
|
|
|
Right now \texttt{ghc-mod} has only one core developer and only a handful of
|
|
occasional contributors. If \textit{you} want to help make Haskell development
|
|
even more fun come and join us!
