readline is a Haskell binding to the GNU Readline library. It is now available in Fedora. Install it using:

 $ sudo yum install ghc-readline-devel

The Readline library provides functions to for line editing, and managing history of commands entered interactively through the command-line. It is Free Software. A simple example of using ghc-readline is demonstrated:

import System.Console.Readline

readEvalPrintLoop :: IO ()
readEvalPrintLoop = do
   maybeLine <- readline "% "
   case maybeLine of 
    Nothing     -> return () 
    Just "exit" -> return ()
    Just line -> do addHistory line
                    putStrLn $ "The user input: " ++ (show line)
                    readEvalPrintLoop

main = do
     readEvalPrintLoop

Compile it using:

 $ ghc --make read.hs
Linking read ...

Run it and test it:

 $ ./read
% 
The user input: ""
% Lorem ipsum
The user input: "Lorem ipsum"
% exit
 $
