“Quite readable” is a stretch... I know of no other language that needs a hoogle equivalent.
That being said, my experience with Haskell is limited to working on some meta-meta-programming research in college, where every file used at minimum 3 different GHC extensions. So I may be biased.
- mlevental 7y ago>at minimum 3 different GHC extensions. So I may be biased. are you kidding? most files i see have all of these http://dev.stephendiehl.com/hask/#the-benign http://dev.stephendiehl.com/hask/#the-benign
- jakear 7y agoAgain, I don’t have a clue what I’m talking about. But I seem to remember seeing a lot of those “dangerous” ones. If that’s just the state of Haskell, my bad.
- whateveracct 7y agoYou don't need hoogle -.- It is a very cool tool tho
- FridgeSeal 7y agoI find Haskell less of a “needs” a hoogle, and more of a “nothing else has this, this is so useful”. The number of times I have wished for something like Hoogle when writing Python...
- SomeOldThrow 7y agoScala could definitely use hoogle, as can c++/boost. My lesson from all this is to never ever overload an operator except, maybe, the comparison operators. Exception: apl.
