What is the current status of Sublime 2 integration for Haskell? I see two possible packages so far. A plugin for code highlighting and a REPL plugin.

Is there an intelli-sense plugin for Haskell? Maybe integration with Hackage as well?

Thanks.

SublimeHaskell plugin is the modern choice for Haskell development with SublimeText. It is well maintained and has plenty of useful features.

Other quite useful plugins:

  • Shell Turtlestein, which allows you to quickly type in shell commands under a single keystroke from inside the editor.
  • SublimeREPL, which allows you to run GHCi from inside the editor. Though without support for cabal repl yet.
  • SideBarEnhancements, which I primarily use to rename/move files without touching the mouse. With it you can hit Ctrl/Cmd + P and type "rename" or "move" to enter the dialogue.
