I'm looking into Haskell (latest ghci) again on org-mode. This
#+begin_src haskell :results verbatim :exports both
:set +m
doubleSmallNumber x = if x > 100
then x
else x*2
#+end_src
works, but still the :set +m is necessary for it to see the whole. But this
#+begin_src haskell :results verbatim :exports both
:set +m
factorial :: Int -> Int
factorial 0 = 1
factorial n = n * factorial (n - 1)
#+end_src
results in this on the REPL side:
Prelude> :set +m
factorial :: Int -> Int
factorial 0 = 1
factorial n = n * factorial (n - 1)
"org-babel-haskell-eoe"
Prelude>
<interactive>:26:1-23: error:
• No instance for (Show (Int -> Int)) arising from a use of ‘print’
(maybe you haven't applied a function to enough arguments?)
• In a stmt of an interactive GHCi command: print it
Prelude> Prelude> Prelude> "org-babel-haskell-eoe"
which is the same behavior if I try to feed the program into the REPL one
line at a time, i.e.,
Prelude> factorial :: Int -> Int
<interactive>:40:1-23: error:
• No instance for (Show (Int -> Int)) arising from a use of ‘print’
(maybe you haven't applied a function to enough arguments?)
• In a stmt of an interactive GHCi command: print it
So the :set +m trick (take multiple lines) doesn't help here. Obviously,
Haskell is not ready to be used with Babel. Can it be fixed? BTW, this does
work with the regular ghci REPL and haskell-mode. If it helps, Standard ML,
which has very similar syntax (it was Haskell's parent), works fine.

If the idea is to just take 1 snippet, and "execute" that it means that to have a consistent whole you'd need to put all the modules of your program into that snippet (already impossible in Haskell, you can have only 1 module per file), compile that, run the resulting binary. Or org mode would have to have some idea of what needs to be retangled & rebuilt. I think that using org-babel for compiled, multifile languages will only work in very simple cases -- and even then.. -- but will lead to problems very soon.

Babel's sweet-spot would be the interpreted world, the very best probably a Lisp language. Still, the ability to add code to a running REPL should be possible. As I mentioned, SML is a sibling of Haskell and its babel implementation worked fine for me as I worked through an SML course. So yes, this appears to be a Haskell REPL issue. I'm just a beginner with Haskell, and all my intro texts start you out using the ghci REPL interactively. But then they switch you over to a text file compiled in the REPL with :l myfile.hs . . . no explanation as to why you can't just continue with the REPL putting the program in line-by-line. The fact that I can use the :set +m to include multiple lines of code, but cannot do a type definition is rather bizarre, though. This is a decision Haskell made with their REPL and babel really can't do much about it, I suppose. The Haskell .lhs literate option is interesting. Yes, I'd like to see your tangle option, please.
