[Haskell-cafe] GSoC proposal: Haskell AST-based refactoring and API upgrading tool

2013-04-29 Thread Niklas Hambüchen
I would like to propose the development of source code refactoring tool that operates on Haskell source code ASTs and lets you formulate rewrite rules written in Haskell. Objective - The goal is to make refactorings easier and allow global code changes that might be incredibly tedious to

Hello Malcolm, no, I had indeed not seen this! Thanks for the link. It goes very much in the direction I was thinking of, but it does not seem to maintained and does not cabal install either. It also seems very much focused on interactive editor integration as compared to written-out

There is another aspect to this: How do you get maintainers to apply the patches? How should hackage be changed to accomodate large-scale refactorings? There was a discussion on this mailing list related to build regressions on GHC 7.6 last year. All of the regressions could be fixed using

Hi Niklas, I haven't read the whole proposal as I'm short of time. But Alan Zimmerman is doing a lot of work on integrating HaRe with the GHC API [1]. He is alanz on freenode and a regular in #hspec. I haven't looked at the code, but maybe it's of interest to you. Cheers, Simon [1]
