Intero was an Emacs-integrated interactive development environment for Haskell, pairing an Emacs Lisp package with a stack-managed backend process to provide on-the-fly type checking, completions, goto-definition, and REPL integration. The project is officially end-of-life: the maintainer stopped development in early 2020 and points users to Dante, haskell-ide-engine, and ghcide as alternatives.

Use cases

• set up a haskell IDE in emacs
• show haskell type errors inline while editing
• autocomplete and goto definition for haskell in emacs
• run a ghci repl inside emacs
• check haskell types on the fly with stack
• integrate a haskell build backend with an editor

When to choose

• maintaining a legacy stack-based Haskell project already configured to use intero
• studying how Emacs-based Haskell IDE backends were built
• locked to an old GHC/stack setup where intero still works and upgrading tooling is not an option

When to avoid

• starting any new Haskell project, since it is explicitly unmaintained
• you need support for recent GHC versions or bug fixes - use Dante or haskell-language-server instead
• you do not use Emacs as your editor
