I like the HEAT simple IDE for small one-file programs, which are common in
introductory classes. (We made a few local changes and additions - happy to
share.)
I also like using IntelliJ IDEA with Haskell plugin, and that is probably the
most polished and best actual IDE. (The eclipse plugin is abandoned and
depreciated.)
For larger projects, Leksah is good, although the documentation is sparse
(IMHO), and it has a bit of a learning/setup curve.

Suppose I am doing a pattern match on a large number of consecutive (or
mostly-consecutive) integers:
foo 0 = something
foo 1 = somethingElse
...
foo 1000 = anotherThing
Will GHC optimize this to a table lookup, or is it going to test each
integer in turn? Am I better off using a Vector or Map instead of
pattern matching?
Thanks,

Hi Patrick,
Yes, this will optimise to "a nice balanced tree of decisions with dense
jump tables in the leafs" [1]. You can check out the comments in [1] for
more details.

Hope that helps,
Rahul
