GUI tool for compiling

Open fatho opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

This is mainly useful on Windows where command line usability is seriously lacking. The plan is to develop this in C#, since GUI libraries for Haskell are sometimes hard to compile, especially on Windows.

The user should be able to simply select the source file, the output file, the libraries that should be included and hit a button.

Basic feature ideas

  • configurable location of compiler and prelude library
  • library management
  • invoking the compiler with the right settings (maybe even automatically whenever source file changes)
  • display errors
  • settings can be saved in "projects" of some sort

As Rust developer, I offer Rust for this duty :) It's fast (faster than C# at least), safe as Haskell and has some GUI libraries.
