State of Haskell editor/IDE support

This chart describes the support level of each Haskell editor/IDE plug-in combination.

In most cases there is a main plug-in which acts as a base for the provided features.

Each known plug-in has an associated link and tooltip with its name.

Meaning of each level

Symbol Support Level
? Unknown, support is uncertain
⛔ Absent, you are on your own
🌱 Immature, only for early-adopters
🥈 Mature, suitable for most programmers
🏆 The best™ possible experience

Notes:

  1. native support (probably minimal)
  2. via main plug-in
  3. this plug-in needs special config and/or system deps, refer to its documentation

Features

  • Backend - The engine which makes some processing behind scenes to make most of the features available
  • Easy to install - Is this setup easy to reproduce? Better when it is one-click and it just works, less when it needs special config, compile by hand, etc
  • Syntax highlight
  • Code Completion
  • Error Reporting
  • Lint
  • Code Format
  • Goto Def
  • Find Usages
  • Stepwise Debugger
  • Doc. tooltips
  • Snippets - Predefined and customizable templates for pieces of code you write often. For example, if you write case, an editor might provide a completion like
    case ___ of
      __ -> ___
  • Hoogle
  • REPL Integration - Be able to load/reload a file to e.g. ghci and provide interaction. Autocompletion and syntax highlighting are also welcomed.
  • Build Command - Project compilation cycle can be started using the editor preferred way
