Features
It is a fully functional IDE for Haskell [1] . The environment is tightly integrated with GHC , it not only uses the Glasgow Haskell compiler for its intended purpose. it also refers to its haskell source code API [2] . It supports source code navigation, autocompletion, debugging and package building.
History
For Haskell for a long time there were no specialized integrated development environments. Projects such as HIDE [3] and based on wxHaskell (a wrapper for wxWidgets ) Haste [4] were launched, but both were abandoned [5] .
The development of Leksah was launched in June 2007, and the first alpha version was released in February 2008 [6] .
Alternatives
For 2015, the product remains more developing than finished, and for novice programmers, the authors recommend using specialized plug-ins for modern highly developed IDE: Eclipse (EclipseFP [7] ) or Visual Studio (Visual Haskell [8] ) [5] .
Another noteworthy product is the Haskell emacs -like editor for Yi programmers. The authors of Leksah planned to use it as one of the components of their IDE, but at the beginning it was decided to abandon this idea due to the fact that Yi did not work under Windows . Work on such integration was started during the preparation of version 0.8 of Leksah, but as of May 2015, they are still not finished [5] .
