A Haskell IDE based on the spf-13 VIM distribution and the neco-ghc, vim2hs and ghcmod-vim VIM packages. Among others it features auto-completion (even on imported module references), automatic code checking on save, auto bracket completion and many other things. For a detailed list of features see the aforementioned package links. Note that I do not take credit for implementing these features; Haskim is just a convenient wrapper script for automatically installing and building all the required packages that make this happen.
Note: the spf13-vim install script will backup your existing .vimrc
. You should probably add the contents of this backup to .vimrc.local
. Unless you know what you are doing, do not overwrite .vimrc.local
with your .vimrc
backup since the former contains some fixes for tab-completion in spf13-vim and the automatic checking of your code on write.
Installation on any OS with bash or sh should be as easy as executing the following line:
curl https://raw.github.com/jejansse/Haskim/master/bootstrap.sh -L -o - | sh
At a certain point in the installation you will see an empty VIM window. Just type :q! followed by a carriage return and the installation should proceed. You might notice that the terminal will be garbled after closing this VIM window, this is due to spf13-vim and Vundle. Just close it and start a new one to test Haskim.
If you're using Cygwin, the above script should work; otherwise, it probably won't work. Normally, you can still pretty much get the same setup on Windows by installing spf13-vim, vim2hs, neco-ghc and ghcmod-vim manually, however.
You should have cabal installed and have added the directory with cabal installed binaries to your PATH variable:
echo $PATH
should contain a directory like cabal/bin on Linux or Library/Haskell/bin on Mac.

After closing the VIM window that pops up during the installation, the terminal where you ran the bootstrap script will be garbled. This is due to spf13-vim or Vundle and cannot be fixed right now. If you want to have it fixed, please contact the maintainers of these packages.
