> I recently tried to get into Haskell, while also looking for relevant projects written in it on Github and couldn't find anything "interesting" (this may vary from person to person, obviously).

Exciting project. For those people who might be scared off because it is Haskell, I would encourage you look at the default config. [0] Apart from import statements and two lines of boilerplate, it is just a newline deliminated list of modules. The only line that this does not apply to is the last line, which sets the initial state of the buffer. Writing your own extensions probably will always involve being comfortable with Haskell, but (assuming it gets a decent community) will not be nessasary for the majority of users.

s/threepenny-gui/blob/mast..., although of course it's still better than Yi. Personally I wouldn't consider it without a GUI supporting variable-width text, and that seems far away at this point. But if someone writes an OpenGL renderer it might be worth a second look.
