    Reasonably proud of my part 2 solution, although would like to try using a recursion scheme rather than unstructured recursion:

    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!
  • Is there a way to avoid call overhead?

    Maybe I didn't link the best post. It is unfortunately the only one I know that uses Rust. If you are able to read Haskell, the documentation for the recursion-schemes package might be a better resource?
  • So you come across an undocumented library…

    But wait, there's more! One of the two challenges was the recursion-schemes library. I wrote some examples, but the output I was getting from that example was not what I expected. I dug further, and it turned out to be a bug in the library! In addition to the documentation, I thus also worked on a fix for that bug.

    It's a pretty complicated bug, documented in details at https://github.com/recursion-schemes/recursion-schemes/issues/50

    It’s also trivial and easy in Haskell — you just need an instance of `Foldable` or `Traversable` on your collection, and then you can fold or traverse it in a configurable way. Or for recursive structures, use https://hackage.haskell.org/package/recursion-schemes. Or even just pass a traversal function as an argument for maximum flexibility.

    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.

    I wouldn't bother with gfold, it's broken and rarely used. I'd start from a simpler implementation of zygo:

    Mueval is based on hint, which is in turn based on the ghc library.

    You can try using hint (instead of ghci) though I'm not sure it has the breakpoint functionality.

    with haskell.nix, well, you've found the github issue, you need to put the apecs package in the right nix incantation.

    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.

What are some alternatives?
