In this paper we present CIDER (Curry Integrated Development EnviRonment), an
analysis and programming environment for the declarative multi-paradigm
language Curry. CIDER is a graphical environment to support the development of
Curry programs by providing integrated tools for the analysis and visualization
of programs. CIDER is completely implemented in Curry using libraries for GUI
programming (based on Tcl/Tk) and meta-programming. An important aspect of our
environment is the possible adaptation of the development environment to other
declarative source languages (e.g., Prolog or Haskell) and the extensibility
w.r.t. new analysis methods. To support the latter feature, the lazy evaluation
strategy of the underlying implementation language Curry becomes quite useful.Comment: In A. Kusalik (ed), proceedings of the Eleventh International
