I hadn't seen this before, but I tried it out, and the parts I'm interested in are nice. The indenting is less flaky than what I was using before (comments had issues).
If you're rewriting things, though, it'd be nice to be able to customize indentation a little more. For instance, I like laying out ifs like: if foo then bar else baz But I like to lay out wheres as: foo = ... where bar = ... But both the indents here are based on shiftwidth, so they're tied together. Another 'nice to have' would be some intelligent outdenting. For instance, if you type a let block right now: let foo = zig bar = zag in ... That's what you'll get. It'd be nice if typing the 'in' snapped back to the let. I know it's possible to implement something like this, because the scala indentation mode I use frequently outdents when I type '=>' (which annoys the hell out of me, because it's almost never correct), but I don't know if it can be done intelligently enough to be useful (which would be important). Something to keep in mind, though. -- Dan On Sun, Mar 3, 2013 at 9:48 AM, dag.odenh...@gmail.com < dag.odenh...@gmail.com> wrote: > I see now in your README that you have seen vim2hs.
