Re: [Haskell-cafe] Proposal: New syntax for Haskell

[Daisuke Fujimura]

To be exact, the syntax is Gherkin not cucumber.
https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Gherkin

And, there's already a library to run specs written in Gherkin.

 This is completely irrelevant, but the .chs extension is

 Excerpts from Niklas Hambüchen's message of Tue Sep 10 00:30:41 -0700 2013
 :
  Impressed by the productivity of my Ruby-writing friends, I have
  recently come across Cucumber: http://cukes.info
 
 
  It is a great tool for specifying tests and programs in natural
  language, and especially easy to learn for beginners.
 
  I propose that we add a Cucumber syntax for Haskell, with the extension
  .chs, next to .hs and .lhs.
 
 
  Code written in cucumber syntax is concise and easy to read: You can
  find some example code in https://gist.github.com/nh2/6505995. Quoting
  from that:
 
Feature: The Data.List module
 
  In order to be able to use lists
  As a programmer
  I want a module that defines list functions
 
  Scenario: Defining the function foldl
Given I want do define foldl
Which has the type (in brackets) a to b to a (end of brackets),
   to a, to list of b, to a
And my arguments are called f, acc, and l
When l is empty
Then the result better be acc
Otherwise l is x cons xs
Then the result should be foldl f (in brackets) f acc x
  (end of brackets) xs
 
 
  PS: People even already started a testing framework for Haskell in it:

[Haskell-cafe] ANN: hi-0.0.2, a Haskell project generator

[Daisuke Fujimura]

Hello cafe,

I'm very happy to announce the release of hi, a Haskell project generator.

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hi

This application will generate a scaffold for new Haskell project with
given command line argument(or value in configuration file), using git
repository as a template.

If you frequently create new project which has test suite in hspec,
generating new project by hi will be a good alternative to cabal-init. It
comes with test suite in hspec and already buildable.

A project made by the default configuration is here.
https://github.com/fujimura/hi-example

More details is in the README:
https://github.com/fujimura/hi

Hope you enjoy it :-)
