Is there something like ipython for Haskell? GHCI is fine but some subtleties are missing. Like typing a prefix and going through a subset of the command history. And also the numpy/scipy/matplotlib toolkit that come with the -pylab option would be great!


There's some promising work that might lead to a nice i python analogue, but I don't anticipate anything being ready for prime time before the fall


It gets a little better when run ghci from emacs in a cabalized project, but I agree it's still no ipython.


Maybe it is possible to write a haskell mode for ipython? I watched Fernando and one of the Julia guys hack up communication between ipython and a Julia interpreter in an afternoon. Depending on how ghci is implemented it might not be much harder.



Ghci comes with editline/readline generally. So Ctrl-r is backward search.


hugs is a different interpreter for haskell, but doesn't have anywhere close to the features of GHCI
