haskell-ide-engine

Please take a closer look at the first plugin listed for VS Code, haskell-ide-engine, https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine It is under active development and is the closest you can get to a "unified coherent Haskell plugin" - it comes with all the features you would get from installing the 7 plugins individually.

The VS Code plugin listed (haskell-ide-engine, https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine - to be more precise, it's a language server supporting many editors) is probably the one which sees the most development at the moment and comes with many of the other plugins listed or equivalent functionality (syntax highlighting, tab completion, linting via hlint, code formatting, refactoring) included. It certainly is the tool I would recommend to VS Code users.

I’ve been out of the game for a number of years but I used something called ghc-mod [1] with its associated vim plugin [2] to get this functionality. Moving forward, it seems that all of the effort has moved over to Haskell IDE Engine [3]. It looks like this exact feature hasn’t been brought over yet but it is planned. In the mean time you could still use ghc-mod though. [1] https://github.com/DanielG/ghc-mod [2] https://github.com/eagletmt/ghcmod-vim [3] https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine

We're gonna have AGI before we have a good IDE for Haskell. Spacemacs seems to be the best option at the moment with https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine.

I tried spacemacs with intero for a while, but I'm now using https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine + vscode + vimmode. Mostly because I'm using vscode in my work and I don't want to invest more into emacs.

I think haskell is rapidly improving in this area. It suffered from every editor having it's own home-grown backend. Haskell IDE-Engine [1] is becoming quite stable in my experience (using it myself) and while providing all the basic features, it's based on the Language-Server-Protocol and thus has various plugins for your favourite Editor (vscode, vim, atom, sublime etc. I personally use vscode). The development is also quite active and not run by one person anymore. I am quite pleased to be honest. [1] https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine

IDEA for Java / Scala / Kotlin. Emacs for everything else: JS, Python, Haskell,.. all the way to bash scripts. I have high hopes for JetBrains, and possibly MS, making their IDE "engines" available for integration with third-party editors, similar to the way Rust [1], Haskell [2][3] and JS [5] "IDEs" try to follow (and apparently MS specifies for some of its tools [4]). With that, you could use your best-loved editor (and people love a variety of them) with whatever language support engine(s), possibly even remotely. To some extent, the venerable Plan9 ACME shown the way to that. The Xi editor seems to follow this design.
