For my case, template haskell can't create modules, and template haskell solves a different problem - I've not interested in creating Haskell declarations from Haskell declarations - I'm interested in creating Haskell modules from an external, formal, specification. In a sense I'm compiling to Haskell. > Another option (also not code generation, but very useful in reducing > boilerplate) is generic programming, for example using the 'regular' > package, or the new generics in GHC 7.2. > > Erik > > _______________________________________________ > Haskell-Cafe mailing list > Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org > http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
