#1831: reify never provides the declaration of variables -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: Template Haskell | Version: 6.8.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by polkovnikov.ph): I don't actually think there's a lack of interest in this functionality. It could finally let programmers to write TH-based translation libraries. For example, one could create `javascript` such that `print $ javascript sort` generates JS code for list sorting, effectively reusing Prelude. Also, some language extensions like Megacz's generalized arrows could become libraries. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1831#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
