Yi – Text editor written in Haskell

Incremental parsing really isn&#x27;t that hard: just cache the trees and damage&#x2F;repair appropriately. I&#x27;m not sure if Haskell will be much of an advantage there; I found my own frameworks to be incredibly stateful...to the point that I designed Glitch to replace FRP to solve this specific problem.<p>Incremental parsing is also the first step toward incremental type checking :)<p>The post is a bit wrong, there have been incremental parsing frameworks in the past (see Tim Wagner and Susan Graham&#x27;s work on Harmonia at UCB). But I&#x27;ve never been able to use them very well, and the problem is simple enough that cache&#x2F;damage&#x2F;repair is good enough (actually for type checking also).

As someone whose ISP enforces a draconian bandwidth limit, I would really like to see an estimate of how much all the dependencies are going to end up costing me.<p>The last time I tried to build a Haskell program (I think it was on 64-bit Arch linux), I ended up quitting after I broke 800 MB in downloads with no end in sight.

I have tried a few times in the last year to find someone who something crazier than Yi: a Haskell program that is text editor, IDE, and integrated Webkit browser, all in Haskell. The dev was a former Emacs enthusiast. It looked really cool, but I forgot to bookmark.<p>It is not Yi, but does anyone know what I am talking about?

looking at these config files I do feel like we&#x27;re still missing a style to write nice config files in a language like Haskell. I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s a language issue, but there&#x27;s still a bit of difficulty in the building blocks given by things like xmonad or yi.

Uh… Is it really idiomatic approach for Haskell?<p>Edit: oh, I&#x27;ve read and referred to the latest blog-entry on site, not to the editor itself. Nevermind.
