Hi Rustom,
I tend to find that I use Uniplate for most stuff, and SYB for very
complex stuff (SYB is quite a bit more complicated to do the simple
things, but can do things out of reach for Uniplate). The example of
manipulating AST's is very common, and using a generics library is a
very good
I need some help finding my way around the various generics libraries.
My usage scenario is -- at least to start with -- the ASTs of programming
languages.
It appears to me that there are two generations of generics -- earlier there
was generic haskell and strafunski
Now there is uniplate and
Hi Rusi,
GHC has built-in support for two generic programming libraries. SYB [1]
support has been there for a long time. The new generic mechanism [2], which
allows you to define your own, (almost) derivable classes, only appeared in
7.2, but is planned to stay.
What library you should use
