Investigate reimplement using source plugin

Open guibou opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Source plugin may solve a few issues at the same time:

  • No more template haskell (I don't consider it a problem, but people sees it as a deffect)
  • No need to haskell-src-exts and haskell-src-meta anymore. This will dramatically reduce the dependency footprint. Apparently that's a reason of the lack of adoption of PyF.

On the other hand, people will need to setup source plugin for their build. I need to investigate how this is a problem when using something different that cabal or stack.

:+1: if this could remove the hakell-src-exts dependency.

Thanks!

Now that haskell-src-exts is not a dependency anymore, the source plugin implementation may just be an option in order to get ride of template haskell
