[Discussion] Make haskell-indentation external, editor agnostic project · Issue #1086 · haskell/haskell-mode · GitHub

Hey,

I've recently realized that even though haskell-indentation has seen a lot of improvements recently and is quite pleasant to use, there are two fundamental problems:

1. It's emacs specific, so it doesn't benefit anyone who is not an emacs user.
2. It's written in elisp, which creates high entry barrier for newcomers who would want to contribute.

Both of these severely reduce the pool of people who would be willing to improve the state of the project. Therefore I wonder if we could benefit from porting haskell-indentation to other language (Haskell seems to be the obvious choice here) and making it an external application so that editors can just pass the code and receive a list of possible indentations to use.

Any thoughts?
