Fyi, Alan is currently working on levaraging HaRe[1] in https://github.com/alanz/Hs2010To201x (the `parsing-only` branch) and it's already showing great promise. However, tools like this will only be able to handle the no-brainer cases, as in general it's a NP hard problem. But luckily, those boring mechanical refactorings usually represent the vast majority, and that's the tedious work we want tooling to assist us most with. > C) Hackage displays vocally what works with which versions of > GHC (Status reports do help somewhat) I.e. something like http://matrix.hackage.haskell.org/package/text ? :-) [1]: Btw, here's a recent talk which also mentions the use-case of using HaRe to update between Haskell Report revisions or `base` versions: https://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/6539-a-new-foundation-for-refactoring-ghc-exactprint _______________________________________________ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
