 sterni (he/him) | code gen is unironically really nice and it can be down flexibly and simply. In Haskell packgaes it's often not a good option since Cabal doesn't have good support for it (e.g. the preprocessor hack hspec-discover uses is very hacky and breaks recompilation tracking), but GHC already uses autoconf, so you can just pregenerate that with that | 13:24:42 |
 emily | (does the evil mangler still exist) | 13:24:52 |
 MangoIV | the evil mangler is after code gen though | 13:25:51 |
| MangoIV | it mangles assembly | 13:26:00 |
 Teo (he/him) | I'm quite hopefully about the new Hooks build type. It would be quite nice to use codegen more. Often nicer than TH | 13:26:02 |
| MangoIV | can it generate scripts for the hooks yet? | 13:26:22 |
| Teo (he/him) | cause you get nice introspection for free | 13:26:25 |
| sterni (he/him) | we'll see how that turns out; when it happened I did not have the energy to look at the proposal at all | 13:26:44 |
