  • Is anyone using quickspec?

    It looks like that change is on github, but the version wasn't bumped, nor was it pushed to hackage https://github.com/nick8325/quickspec/blob/master/quickspec.cabal Perhaps try using github as the source instead of hackage?

    Quickspec (https://github.com/nick8325/quickspec) is awesome in discovering laws in the code we write. But I am in search for a tool (the reverse) , which given the spec, can it synthesise code ?

    My first post was poorly written. I didn't mean to imply that taking pride in a job well done was bad. I don't think it is. I think programmers have plenty of reason to be happy when they do good work[1]--what I think is foolish is having visions of grandeur when it comes to programming, which in my opinion is what _why seemed to have based on his reasoning for quitting. I could be way off mark, but that's my take.

    I mentioned this in another comment, but I think it also has to do with a confusion of categories. _why seemed to want recognition akin to that received by, e.g. Thomas Bernhard, Kafka, for something like shoes or his other software/libraries or general contributions to computing. But the issue is these things will always be utilities for specialists, and any aesthetic properties they have (elegant design, expression, etc.) are secondary to their functioning and they'll always be relegated to the dusty realm of specialists since the code is not the product--the software is. One can write code to create an aesthetic object that is enjoyed and revered by the masses, but I have a hard time envisioning a future in which the masses will ever enjoy and revere code or engineering for its own sake.

    Pride was the wrong word to use and one I lazily reached for. After reading your comment, you've helped me realize that what I advise against is misapplication of expectations to different categories of things. _why seemed to want an aesthetic reception and legacy on a general, popular scale for work that is ultimately only a utility to the vast majority of the population and indeed, not even accessible to the population, and even if it were, I don't think many people would admire programming libs for fun--such a hobby will remain the lot of only enthusiasts. There is no pop coding like there is pop music.

    [1]: Though I'd also argue that much of what you state taking pride in is not programming--which is just expressing ideas in programming languages--what you are talking about is engineering/design, which can be done perfectly well and separately from the programming part. we just happen to solve a lot of problems with computers these days so we need to express solutions for computers to consume and we tend to blend those responsibilities (we'll one day get to a point where the computers do most of the programming and we just design https://github.com/nadia-polikarpova/synquid)

    Synquid synthesizes programs from refinement types, which are very similar in that you express a type-level predicate on the output using an expression which involves the input.
