[Haskell-cafe] What features should an (fictitious) IDE for Haskell have?

[MarLinn]

Most importantly: A good IDE is not a text editor, but an AST editor. If 
the AST happens to be presented as text, that's a choice of 
visualisation, nothing more. Better to start with a graph-like 
visualisation to free the mind, then think through the possible 
interactions. Maybe add the typical text-like visualisation later. But 
don't start there or you'll just re-invent notepad for the nth time.

Maybe don't even /store/ the code as ascii text.
