I've been a Geany user for about 18 months. I code in C, C++, Ocaml and Haskell regularly and touch dozens of other languages semi regularly.
Personally I think languages like Haskell don't really need snippets as the language itself is already terse. However, the existing snippets that work for C/C++/Java/etc are actually a pain in the neck when coding Haskell.
In C and C++, the snippets don't get in my way, but I wouldn't miss them if they weren't there.
For HTML and XML I actually do like the snippets. They're sane and they help.
so maybe it isn't worth the effort of either approach and just repeat things for now and possibly over time the definitions will diverge.
I think this will be the case.
Why keep an empty [Haskell] section?
Again I expected proposals for some proper Haskell ones, but again looks like no-one uses snippets much.
The language is super terse, with little un-necessary punctuation. I'd be happy with no snippets. If I find something that should be a Haskell snippet I'll be sure to let you know.
