Nice article. Could anyone comment on this: "Haskell syntax parsing needs to be reimplemented in the “record” library" That sounds like a big, unending task.

Nice article.
Could anyone comment on this:
"Haskell syntax parsing needs to be reimplemented in the “record” library"
That sounds like a big, unending task. How hard would it be for this to be implemented as an actual Haskell feature, without quasi-quoting etc.?
- tel 12y agoIt'd be a consensus thing more than anything else. I for one am not sure that this is a sufficiently correct feature to implement in language. But that said, Haskell's LANGUAGE extension system does allow things like this to be easily added to the language in a smooth way.
- ximeng 12y agoIt does look like a pretty clean implementation, I find myself wondering what the downsides are given all the positive comments in the article.
