Haskell IDE for windows?

Question

OK, I realy searched on this one, also in stackOverflow. (E/TextMate is the closest I found in this topic, but it doesn't seem to be that big of deal)

I tried emacs, but I don't seem to find a Haskell Mode for windows.. VisualHaskell doesn't seem to follow the new VisualStudio updates...

I could try VIM, but does the Haskell Mode works for windows there?

Sigh... All the time the 'close but no cigare' feeling.

I could try everyting that looks kind of promissing, but that just would cost so much time, so I take te liberty to ask the question here : is there actually so out there programming Haskell under windows?? If Yes, please help me out!!

Answer 1

Visual Haskell works fine for me.

Answer 2

I did some Haskell back at varsity and I must admit that I used notepad. There wasn't an IDE back then.

Answer 3

I think the main IDE-ish options for Windows are, in order:

1. Using Eclipse as your Haskell IDE
2. Leksah, an integrated IDE for Haskell written in Haskell.
3. Visual Haskell (unknown recent status)
4. Vim + Haskell
5. Emacs + Haskell

I use option 4.

Answer 4

haskellmode-vim works just fine on Windows -- I use it there. It's my preferred Haskell IDE.

See http://projects.haskell.org/haskellmode-vim/

Answer 5

Emacs works fine on Windows. I used it when I worked with Haskell on Windows. So, that's my recommendation.

Answer 6

Leksah is not bad, install haskell platform, then download the latest Leksah, you're all set. it's not as robust as VS, but it has other qualities which make me enjoy using it, including ease of creating cabal packages, syntax highlighting, auto-completion of function names (they should extend this to syntax as well), function search, etc.
