Open divyaranjan1905 opened 3 months ago
The well-meaning folks who assembled to maintain the mode a few years ago showed a burst of energy which led to new official releases and initiatives such as the above, and then it seems everyone quietly disappeared.
Now there is me, who (very) occasionally takes a few minutes to review and accept contributions, or to make very low-ceremony releases. I don't actively use Haskell right now, and that may be the case for the former maintainers too.
If motivated volunteers appear with quality contributions, then I will be happy to do what I can to enable them.
In my view, this repo has a lot of cruft and baggage gathered over many years, and generally tries to do too much in one place. My opinion is that a more productive future for Haskell support in Emacs would be several smaller, collaborating packages:
haskell-ts-mode
for highlighting and indentation of haskell (and maybe also literate haskell, though that could be a further package).cabal-ts-mode
or cabal-mode
, again just for comint
and otherwise assume LSP will be used for completion, code navigation etc.
What happened to the Monthly progress reports?

How is the development for this major mode looking? Does it require new volunteers? Do we have a plan, a list of TODOs to where we can aim?
