Lamdu - towards the next generation IDE

There are 3 things that will kill a project almost instantly at the beginning: bad design, bad implementation, bad license.

I don't know about the first two but GPL is not a good choice.

I think GPL is fine for a full application, as long as the reusable parts are made into a library under a different permissive license.

We're probably going to switch to a BSD license.

Not a big GPL fan, but why would that matter in this case...plugins?

Because this IDE is built on top of Haskell ecosystem I have a serious problem to see the bright future of it regardless of its license.

I mean:

- IDE should have an integrated compiler.

- IDE should download only necessary libaries or functions needed by a program(from central repository, local or remote).

- IDE should catch a bug and allow me to fix it while program is running.

- IDE where I am able to fix a bug on my clients phone or his wrist watch remotely without the need to download whole Haskell Platform there. No JS/HTML5 BS.
