ghcid is a very simple Haskell development tool that runs GHCi and reloads on every file save, showing errors and warnings in a small console window. It acts as a minimal IDE without editor integration built in, web servers, or library dependencies.
Use cases
- see Haskell compile errors on every save
- run GHCi as a daemon that reloads on file change
- get fast compiler feedback without a full IDE
- display Haskell warnings and errors in a small console window
- lightweight Haskell development feedback loop
When to choose
- you want an incredibly simple Haskell feedback tool
- you use any editor and just need a console showing errors
- large projects where full IDE tooling is too slow
When to avoid
- you want full IDE features like autocomplete or refactorings
- you need deep editor integration out of the box
