I don't think so. Other compilers might not support "deriving Data",
but you can always write the instance by hand.
How much boilerplate would be needed in that case?
As far as I understood the web site, it would be around a line of code
per data type, independently of the number of HOFs that need to iterate
over the data structures - is that correct?
I understand that Drift is a kind of preprocessor / code generator.
Could it be used to generate the necessary boilerplate?
