Disclaimer: I'm not looking to start a favorite IDE flame war, or resurrect Emacs vs. VIM vs. Yi vs. <insert your favorite IDE here> discussions.<br><br>I've been helping JP with EclipseFP, with the objective of evolving EclipseFP into a relatively high productivity IDE for Haskell. EclipseFP has the potential to mature into a reasonable platform for making routine coding easy, e.g., a HAppStack plugin that makes writing web apps in Haskell just as easy as it is for the Java community to write web services.<br>
<br>I've just added Haskell code templates (*) to EclipseFP and, in the process, encountered the distinct lack of layout autoindentation. I'm sure it used to exist, but it doesn't exist today. I've looked at the Emacs haskell-mode.el indentation style, which I'm inclined to port over.<br>
<br>Are there other layout autoindentation styles that other people prefer and believe should be supported?<br><br><br>-scooter<br><br>(*) The current development version supports templates like "let<Ctrl+Space>" and you get a let expression inserted. Eventually, if you were to type "case<Ctrl+Space>" and you tab out of the expression between "case" and "of", you would get the data type's alternatives inserted.<br>
<br>(**) Don S told me that a similar "case" autocompletion exists in another IDE. Yes, EclipseFP is just catching up.<br><br>(***) Wishlist: An incremental parser that can accept document changes/deltas and can look backward from the current point to give better context for completions, e.g., the previous token before the editor's point is "import".<br>
