I would love to see this. Right now darcs annotate can perform slowly. ... I'm a Haskell newb, unfortunately. Otherwise I would be jumping at the chance to make this work.
I am also a total Haskell newbie. I hope to be spending some time this weekend working on a Haskell version of my CUT tool's front-end parser (if you can call it that). It's not intended to replace the current Python implementation -- it's just an educational tool for me to learn basic Haskell coding techniques with. (For those wanting to know what CUT is, see http://www.falvotech.com/content/cut ) Eventually, I'd like to hack on Darcs sources too. My first and foremost goal is to get "darcs replace" to accept arbitrary character classes (e.g., including punctuation marks). As a Forth coder, it's quite often to use darcs-illegal characters in symbol names, as they're either convenient to type or make sense in other ways (e.g., ANSI Forth defines S" for compiling a Forth-style string. But if you want to change things to use C-style strings, usually named Z", you're straight-up on your own!). I understand that there is a list of other known issues with darcs too. Maybe I could be of service there as well. But I'm not going to start until I feel half-way comfortable with Haskell as a language first. :) -- Samuel A.
