Atom plugin? #18

Open CRogers opened 9 years ago

CRogers commented 9 years ago

I was wondering if anyone had started an atom plugin for stack ide? It seems like you've set the groundwork with ghcjs support of the common project at least. If so, I'd love to help contribute. If not, I'd love to start building it.

As far as I know, no-one has started on this. Feel free to start building it, that would be awesome!

@CRogers Good luck on the endevor, you might want to check out https://github.com/lukexi/stack-ide-sublime, which is the plugin that is the furthest along at the moment from my testing.

My wife just started getting into web dev, and I set her up with Atom. It would be great to see a plugin!

lukexi commented 9 years ago

Yes, I'm using stack-ide-sublime daily now (warts and all) since it's such a speed and simplicity improvement over SublimeHaskell — feel free to ask any questions!

I tried to document it decently so I hope it's helpful in getting an Atom version going; everything's in https://github.com/lukexi/stack-ide-sublime/blob/master/stack-ide.py

Aw, Sublime has one now? I really need to get around to writing the vim plugin... ;)

I for one eagerly await a vim plugin ☺

@CRogers vote +1. I'm willing to try it too.

CRogers commented 9 years ago

@lukexi @drwebb stack-ide-sublime looks very cool. I tried to write my last haskell ide plugin for Sublime Text 3, SublimeGHCi, but got burned by Sublime's poor ETE test story (I had to build my own framework) and lack of docs. I'll get to work on building the Atom version - I'll try to just get autocomplete or some other simple feature working then release it to whoever wants to try it.

Btw, this is happening (insert itshappening.gif) over at https://github.com/CRogers/stack-ide-atom. There's nothing interesting just yet (I've only got to the stage where I can read/write to processes) as I've made the (possibly dubious) decision to code the plugin in Haskell and compile to javascript via GHCJS.

mgsloan commented 9 years ago

Awesome! I'm really impressed with how well things work with GHCJS, so not that dubious of a decision. You may well end up with one of the largest atom plugins, though (in js size) :)

Let me know if you have any stack-ide / GHCJS questions and I'll try to help out!

I've got one unconventional idea for your effort, but it's up to you whether you want to try out this approach. The School of Haskell revamp uses the ace javascript editor. I got a bit tired of writing FFI definitions for it, and wanted something a bit less prone to errors. So in an evening or two I wrote the WIP version of ghcjs-from-typescript: https://github.com/fpco/ghcjs-from-typescript

It generates some raw GHCJS FFI stuff from a slightly modified https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/ace/ace.d.ts . The tool is very incomplete. I pretty much hacked on it till it accepted the ace definition and spit out usable FFI declarations.

I'd like to revisit the project, as it has the potential to give GHCJS reliable FFI bindings to many javascript packages. Here's the definition it's got for atom: https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/atom/atom.d.ts

From a skim, I don't see anything too strange, so I bet the tool is pretty close to being able to generate code from this definition.

CRogers commented 9 years ago

I was considering the idea of the a typescript-def to ffi compiler. It's great to see that you've made some progress one already. It's something I've tried before (for Fay) a while back but turned out to be way more complicated that I was expected. I'm severely time limited for this project so tempted just to manually add the little ffi I need but if it gets tedious I might look at getting ghcjs-from-typescript to work with atom :)

Hello @CRogers, it's great to hear about that. Could you please explain a little bit your approaches for developing this plugin? I'm a beginner both at Haskell and Atom.

After navigating rapidly the repo, it seems that

I'd like to understand why you've made such decisions.

Thanks

Regarding why I chose to do this in Haskell rather than coffeescript:
