That's great. Although I have not tried it yet, I heard it's possible to embed vim in a new KDevelop, and Haskell plugin is definitely wonderful way to increase language's publicity. > > Things like a background parser that checks the syntax continuously can be > implemented quite straightforward in KDevelop as soon as i've got a working > C++ parser for Haskell. Syntax highlighting is provided by the Kate Plugin. When asked on KDevelop forum, I got the reply that Haskell plugin is not in active development, but it looks like you are still behind it, isn't it? > A better integration of Hugs or GHCi is possible (via plugins).

When tried KDevelop rc1, I got the error that "language plugin is not found" and on KDevelop forum it is stated that it won't/isn't included in final release. So, can we expect new features in KDevelop's Haskell support?
