Description

Package name

ghciwatch

Package homepage

https://mercurytechnologies.github.io/ghciwatch/

Description

Load a GHCi session for a Haskell project and reload it when source files change.

I would love to see this package added because the software I had been using until
now, GHCid isn't really open source. It
is licensed under an ARR license. ghciwatch is libre under an MIT license.

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

Compiled

Is the requested package released?

Yes
