Haskell IDE for Windows? [closed]

Question

I really searched on this one. (E/TextMate is the closest I found in this topic, but it doesn't seem to be that big of deal)

I tried emacs, but I don't seem to find a Haskell Mode for Windows.. VisualHaskell doesn't seem to follow the new VisualStudio updates...

I could try VIM, but does the Haskell Mode works for Windows there?

Sigh... All the time the 'close but no cigare' feeling.

Is there actually so out there programming Haskell under Windows?

Answer 1

I think the main IDE-ish options for Windows are, in order:

1. Using Eclipse as your Haskell IDE
2. Leksah, an integrated IDE for Haskell written in Haskell.
3. Visual Haskell (unknown recent status)
4. Vim + Haskell
5. Emacs + Haskell

I use option 4.

Tip for Emacs on Windows:

• Download ntemacs and extract ntemacs24-bin-xxxxxxxx.7z in your favourite location e.g. D:\
• Create desktop shortcut for D:\ntemacs24\bin\runemacs.exe and run Emacs
• Go to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d\
• Create a directory haskell-mode and put in it files: haskell-mode.el, haskell-font-lock.el, haskell-doc.el from Haskell mode for Emacs
• In ..\emacs.d\ create a file init.el

First 8 lines are optional and depend on the preferences.

(tool-bar-mode -1) (scroll-bar-mode -1) (setq-default truncate-lines t)  (setq line-number-mode t) (setq column-number-mode t)  (set-keyboard-coding-system 'cp1250) (prefer-coding-system 'windows-1250)  (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Consolas-11")  (setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil) (setq default-tab-width 4)  (load "~/.emacs.d/haskell-mode/haskell-mode")  (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.hs\\'" . haskell-mode)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.lhs\\'" . literate-haskell-mode)) (add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook 'turn-on-haskell-doc-mode) 

That's it!

Ps Komodo Edit has syntax support for Haskell.
