[Haskell-cafe] ANN: Haskell-mode 2.8.0
I'm happy to (finally) announce haskell-mode 2.8.0, which can be found at http://projects.haskell.org/haskellmode-emacs/ This is a feature release. I'll let the changelog speak for itself: * Minimal indentation support for arrow syntax * Autolaunch haskell-mode for files starting with #!/usr/bin/runghc and similar * Added minimal major mode for parsing GHC core files, courtesy of Johan Tibell. There is a corresponding Haskell menu entry. * Allow configuration of where-clause indentation; M-x customize-group haskell-indentation. You can expect a 2.8.1 or even 2.8.2 in the near future, as I attempt to empty the bug list, but I thought I might as well get the new features out there quickly. There's bound to be new bugs associated with them. -- Svein Ove Aas ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Hey Svein, Any chance of including haskell-align-imports somehow in the next release? http://gist.github.com/453933 (Re-license it for inclusion however you wish, I don't care.)

Aligning imports will probably be trivial once that is done, but the work of integrating it now would probably also be wasted. That sounds like a good idea. I considered using haskell-src-exts myself but didn't bother at the time. I might do it anyway, if it's sufficiently little work. Let's see. It should just be case of choosing what keybinding to use. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

[snip] Why do you want to rewrite the indenter in Haskell? If haskell-mode has any external dependencies such as that one, it will most likely never make it into Emacs. Why should it become part of Emacs (especially when they finally seem to be starting to work on standardising packaging, etc. to make it easier to install third party modes)? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

SOA In no particular order: SOA - For any given line, there are typically several possible SOA indentations. We can cycle between these, but it's better to minimize SOA them. SOA - I want the parser to be as accurate as possible. This essentially SOA means reimplementing haskell-src-exts, unless I *use* SOA haskell-src-exts. May be you can use semantic to make a parser? Semantic is already included into emacs, and I hope, that it will make life easier. Plus we'll automatically get lot of other functionality - name completion, navigation, etc. My understanding is that semantic is more aimed at C-like languages (I seem to recall reading a discussion a while back about someone trying to use semantic to parse Python or something like that and failing), and as such wouldn't work too well for Haskell. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Deniz Dogan deniz.a.m.do...@gmail.com writes: Why should it not become part of Emacs? I would like it if this Haskell indenter was external to haskell-mode itself instead of making haskell-mode external to Emacs. Why should it? Look at all the effort that the Haskell community went through to _unbundle_ libraries from GHC, and now Emacs is bundling more and more with it, which means it's harder to use a newer version of a package than the bundled one. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Doing so would only mean that haskell-mode will most likely never be a part of Emacs, meaning that anyone looking for programming Haskell in Emacs would have to download an external library, be it through package.el or not. To put it short, there are no pros in making the new Haskell indenter a strict part of haskell-mode. Sure there is. I expect there to be quite a lot of shared code. It's not solely an indenter; the same interface and capabilities will be used for a debugger, refactoring, and type signature info. Haskell-mode should still work without it, to about the same degree as today, but actually doing so would be a *major* degradation compared to the state of the art once I'm done with it. In any case, I expect the actual installation to be via cabal-install. -- Svein Ove Aas ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

And what's so bad about that? I suppose it might be possible to have a cut-down haskell-mode in Emacs for casual hacking, the way there's python-mode and pymacs. To put it short, there are no pros in making the new Haskell indenter a strict part of haskell-mode. There are if it brings in a lot of cool features. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
