The best thing that Leksah can turn into (and something that Haskell

non trivial code, types can
become convoluted and 'piping' functions together becoming complicated,
something that a very smart code completion
along with very powerful refactoring techniques that Eclipse has would do
wonders.
The one thing that Haskell is missing is a proper editing environment, and at
least in my opinion one of the major
things that a language needs to become widely adopted (unless its a first like
perl,C was) is a proper editing
environment that is approachable for newer people but remains powerful for
advanced users
There is a Haskell version of eclipse - eclipsefp. (Unless you specifically
meant an Eclipse written in Haskell.)
