IHaskell is a kernel for the Jupyter project, which allows you to use Haskell inside Jupyter frontends (including the console and notebook). It currently supports GHC 8.0 through 9.0. For GHC 7.10 support please use the GHC7 tag. For a tour of some IHaskell features, check out the demo Notebook. More example notebooks are available on the wiki. The wiki also has more extensive documentation of IHaskell features. IHaskell is based upon the IPython architecture and frontend, so learning about that will help. You can write your own extensions using the IPython javascript API, for instance. Use h to learn more about the modal interface IHaskell/IPython provides. IHaskell adds a few features on top of the IPython frontends, such as automatic character concealing (typing -> yields an arrow) and input cell folding (via the left and right arrow keys, or the buttons). If input cell folding isn't showing up, you can explicitly enable it via the "Cell Toolbar" (select 'Hiding').
