Oh, so if the whole compiler is not dynamic then TH no longer requires
.dyn_o files?  Interesting.

I know they've put a lot of work into this and staging is hard, so I
assume there are good reasons for it :)

But that's the thing, I do turn of dynamic linking because I have to
for -prof, but TH seems to require it.

 I mean to use a ghc that's been built without dynamic support.

Yeah, I use this one too.  It's ok for short things, but it can still
be annoying to edit.  My editor doesn't know how to do line wrapping
for it.  Then you can't just copy paste in and out.  And tabs get
messed up because you're already indented, and probably not in a
tabstop multiple... though I guess I could align it so it was.  And of
course since there's prefix gunk, folding doesn't work inside.

 Yeah, those are all problematic.

Actually, if anyone knows about a vim hack to make 'gq' handle either
this style or the backslash style, it would be much appreciated...
maybe I should try to create one.

Re: template haskell vs. -prof

2015-01-23 Thread John Lato
I agree that mixing template haskell with -prof can be tricky.  It's easier
if you turn off dynamic linking entirely.

As for multi-line string literals, I also think that an explicit syntax
would be nice.  Until then, I usually use:

unlines
  [ "Line 1"
  , "Line 2"
  ]

which ends up being pretty maintainable and easy to read.
