  • I am looking for a new maintainer for Mueval
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 10 Jul 2023
    Mueval is based on hint, which is in turn based on the ghc library.
  • Interactive animations
    11 projects | /r/haskell | 6 May 2023
    Yeah, that project is pretty much at the bottom of my list, unfortunately. My top projects these days are mgmt, klister, recursion-schemes, and hint... And that's already too much!
  • Can GHCi be run like PDB?
    3 projects | /r/haskell | 6 Jan 2023
    You can try using hint (instead of ghci) though I'm not sure it has the breakpoint functionality.
  • Dynamic loading of modules
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 19 Dec 2022
    Have you tried hint?
  • hint: Runtime Haskell interpreter
    6 projects | /r/haskell | 1 May 2022
    with haskell.nix, well, you've found the github issue, you need to put the apecs package in the right nix incantation.
  • How to catch "Variable not in scope" error
    1 project | /r/haskell | 29 Oct 2021
    But the use case for that is for using a Haskell program A to catch errors in that same Haskell program A. For your use case, using a Haskell program A to automatically grade a Haskell program B, I recommend using the hint library instead, as it allows you to load code from external source files, run tests on them, and manipulate the error messages produced by ghc. (full disclosure: I am the maintainer of that library)
  • Does a function that takes as input a function and return its porgram text exist?
    1 project | /r/haskell | 23 Aug 2021
    I am thinking of giving hint the ability to evaluate TemplateHaskell expressions. It would indeed be quite difficult to write an interpreter for all of Haskell, so my plan is to use the Exp's Show instance to produce a program which constructs and then splices that Exp, e.g. $(pure (InfixE (Just (LitE (IntegerL 1))) (VarE GHC.Num.+) (Just (LitE (IntegerL 1))))) is a Haskell expression which is equivalent to 1 + 1, so I should be able to ask hint to evaluate that to get 2 without having to write my own Haskell interpreter.
  • Seeking a Project Lead for Matchmaker - Haskell Foundation
    3 projects | /r/haskell | 26 Jul 2021
    Yes please! Right now all of my open-source projects (most notably hint and recursion-schemes) are about to drop into barely-updated mode, and while I knew this would happen and have been working towards finding co-maintainers, I am now realizing that it wasn't enough. I think such a website would definitely have helped, and I am hoping that once it launches, I'll be able to use it to find some co-maintainers to tide over my projects until I become available again.
  • Deep embedding of Haskell in Haskell
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 15 Jul 2021
    hint's API takes a string, not an AST (I plan to fix this). Internally, hint delegates to the ghc library, which does expose a parser which you can use if you want. hint exists to provide a friendlier API than the ghc library for interpreting Haskell code, but it does not expose a friendlier API for parsing Haskell code.

  • hint: Runtime Haskell interpreter
    6 projects | /r/haskell | 1 May 2022
    The fact that a ghc installation is needed at runtime is indeed a weak point of the library, but I want to point out that hint is not calling the ghc executable at runtime, it is calling the ghc library, which in turn assumes the presence of a bunch of files on your machine. The easiest way to get those files on your machine is to install ghc, but it's not the only way! I have a proof of concept demonstrating how it is possible to bundle those files with your project so that your end users don't have to install ghc themselves. That proof of concept was recently extended to a real world use case in https://tidalcycles.org/; /u/yaxu, did that end up working? Is there anything you or I could do to make it easier for the next person to apply those ideas to their project?
