hdevtools is a backend for text editor plugins, to allow for things such as
|
||
|
|
syntax and type checking of Haskell code, and retrieving type information,
|
||
|
|
all directly from within your text editor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The advantage that hdevtools has over competitors, is that it runs silently
|
||
|
|
in a persistent background process, and therefore is able to keeps all of
|
||
|
|
your Haskell modules and dependent libraries loaded in memory. This way,
|
||
|
|
when you change only a single source file, only it needs to be reloaded and
|
||
|
|
rechecked, instead of having to reload everything.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This makes hdevtools very fast for checking syntax and type errors (runs
|
||
|
|
just as fast as the :reload command in GHCi).
