It appears that use of GHC plugins causes client code to get needlessly recompiled. (See Trac issues 12567 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12567 and 7414 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7414.) It’s becoming more of a problem for usability of the plugin http://conal.net/papers/compiling-to-categories I’ve been developing, and I’m wondering what can be done. Some questions: - Is there any work in progress on fixing this situation? - Are there serious obstacles to fixing it? - Do plugin writers or users have any workarounds? Other insights appreciated. – Conal
