atom-haskell project

Hi. I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining atom-haskell.

I love what you're doing here, but some code is painfully hacky. So I was thinking, maybe we could collaborate on improving ide-haskell's API and possibly integrating this with ide-haskell-repl (as in "ability to use ide-haskell-repl instead of a terminal" not as in "merge packages")?

FWIW, I've been doing some work on managing tooltip provider priorities, so that could at least make this hack unnecessary. Let me know what you think!

I agree that some parts my code are quite hacky, especially the TooltipOverride class. It would also be cool to have this package work with ide-haskell-repl, with ide-haskell-repl working like an in-editor terminal. I'll be free have a look at doing this in about 2 weeks time when I'll be off for the easter vacation (I'm a university student).

In the meantime, do you think it's worth transferring haskell-debug to the atom-haskell organisation?

For reference, ide-haskell-repl doesn't provide a public API at the moment, but it isn't hard to implement. The only question is, what that API should look like. I'll try to see if I can manage to draft something in the meantime.

Well, it's entirely up to you if you want to do that. Atom handles repository transfers very well, so there would be little to no difficulty in doing that (you don't even have to change package.json right away, since github will handle redirects transparently).

There is a good reason to do that though. Having the project in an organization gives at least some reassurance that project won't die without a maintainer, since there are several people who have access to management. So for instance, if you're busy with your thesis or something, and an urgent need for some changes arises (f.ex. Atom makes breaking changes to API), another member could go in and fix that without bothering you.

I've sent you an invitation to atom-haskell. You should be able to create repositories on there, so it should be possible to transfer as well, if you choose to do so.
