nitrous

Snippets should be like whippets: fast.

bash $ snip string base "{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell, DeriveFoldable, DeriveFunctor, DeriveTraversable #-}" $ snip fetch base {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell, DeriveFoldable, DeriveFunctor, DeriveTraversable #-}

The Pitch

• Fast. Like, really, unthinkably fast.
• Easy vim integration
• Written in Rust

The Anti-Pitch

• Not tested with Emacs
• No support for fuzzy search yet
• Not as mature as other solutions

Installation

Script

The easiest way to install for most users is probably via a shell script, viz.

curl -LSfs https://japaric.github.io/trust/install.sh | sh -s -- --git vmchale/nitrous

Binary releases

If the script doesn't work, you can also download prebuilt binaries. You can find binaries for various platforms on the release page.

Cargo

First, install cargo. Then:

bash $ cargo install nitrous

Configuration

First, add a snippet to the user datastore:

bash $ snip string lens "import Control.Lens"

To configure vim to insert this snippet when editing Haskell, put the following into your .vimrc:

vim au BufNewFile,BufRead *.hs nnoremap <leader>l :read !snip fetch lens<CR>
