One word says more than a thousand pictures: Vim http://www.vim.org/.
(well, okay, I'm sure Emacs will do just as well, and some of the more
recent IDEs seem to be catching up;-) plus plugins, of course!-)
- unfolding definitions: if you really want that, it is in the domain of
program
So I was thinking about a killer feature for a text editor.
Wouldn't it be neat if you could expand function calls into their
definitions, in-place?
For example, suppose we have minus defined like so, somewhere in
another file:
minus (a, b, c) (x, y, z) = (a - x, b - y, c - z)

It seems like a neat feature, and it could just be my inexperience with
Haskell but it doesn't seem killer. For example, why would you want to
expand readLine like that if you already have it defined? It seems to
defeat much of the benefit of functional languages in the first place, which
is
Perhaps it wouldn't be as all-wonderful as I think, but as a new
Haskell user, I am constantly switching back and forth between various
definitions of things trying to compare documentation and files...
The purpose of expansion as I was explaining it is not to

I hadn't seen that feature in Excel before. When I press F9 it seems
to evaluate the expression, which isn't quite what I had in mind (Mac
OS). Is that the same as what you get?

Yeah, it's the same feature.
