• A Month of Haskell, Day 3 - vim configuration - May 3, 2017

  My favorite text editor is vim. While there are certainly better IDEs out there, vim is great at editing text and can be turned into a reasonable IDE with enough plugins and helper programs. It also has the advantage of being a text-based program that can easily be run over an ssh session.

  This post is about how you can configure vim to be a better IDE for Haskell. There are a ton of other documents out there explaining this very thing, including an excellent one from Stephen Diehl. I’ve borrowed from him a bit, but made a lot of my own changes. There are also some projects up on github that look like you just clone them, install, and they make all the necessary changes. While that sounds fast, I’m not as much of a fan of that because it seems to take over your home directory.

• vim - March 3, 2004

  vim is a modern version of the classic Unix text editing program, vi. It provides features that system administrators and programmers will find very useful, but remains lightweight and fast. I gave this presentation along with David Cantrell and David Shea to the GT LUG. It assumes some beginning knowledge of vim, as it focuses more on the advanced features.
