    We have now switched to the pinch library ( https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pinch ) which feels more Haskell-y, although at the price of using some more advanced type-level stuff (type families, GADTs). On the other hand, finally an excuse to use those in production code :-) We also have written a code-generator for it, though that could do with a lot of polish ...( https://github.com/phile314/pinch-gen/ ).

    A bunch of those hints are coming from generated code - e.g. https://github.com/TomMD/hsthrift/blob/c9fb3a4b425c86fd0e0f7fe86d438fb90c0ff2e3/compiler/test/fixtures/gen-hs2/A/S/Service.hs#L56 is a complete mess for a human, but perfectly reasonable as a generation target. They might well be using HLint, and not running it on generated code, which would be a reasonable approach.
