Rodrigo Mesquita pushed to branch wip/romes/ast-ohne-faststring at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 4824c835 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2026-06-30T14:13:34+01:00 ttg: Using Text over FastString in the AST To make the AST independent of GHC, this commit replaces usages of `FastString` with `Text` in the AST, killing the last edge from Language.Haskell.* to GHC.* modules. Even though we /do/ want to use FastStrings in general -- critically in Names or Ids -- there is no particular reason for the FastStrings that occur in the AST proper to be FastStrings. Strings in the AST are typically unique and don't benefit particularly from being interned FastStrings with Uniques for fast comparison.
