Bulat,

Thanks for the suggestions (by the way, very good article on IO). Some
comments below.

There is already some support for background compilation using GHC.
Error highlighting doesn't still work as I'd like to, but is there
too.

There is already some of this too, although it may not be exactly what
you have in mind.

Being worked on. Should be one of the leading features on the next
release, together with some more code completion.

Being worked on, together with code completion. I would like some more
detail here, though.

This one seems very challenging and interesting, not a must-have for
me but a very attractive feature.

I have purposely left some items behind, just because resources are
limited and we need to focus on some more valuable features. Do you
think the ones I selected are the most valuable ones?

Would you mind to delve into some more detail on the topics above on
the EclipseFP mailing list? I am particularly interested on these four
(in order of priority):

- ability to "fall in" definition of identifier under cursor
- automatic management of import lists
- syntax highlighting
- auto-indenting with user-tuned style

> Are you use GHC library?

Not yet, but it may turn to be a very wise decision to make in the
future. EclipseFP is being written in Java, I wonder how the GHC
library would be accessed on such a environment. Need to take a look
at the paper.

Cheers,
