#13811: eta reduction in GHCi for an educational purpose -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: vanto | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by goldfire): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: My instinct is that this feature is beyond the scope of GHCi and is better incorporated into another tool (perhaps [https://github.com/HeinrichApfelmus/hyper-haskell HyperHaskell]?), but others may differ in opinion. Regardless of my opinion on the feature, the way to incorporate this user-facing change is to write a [https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals ghc-proposal]. I'll also note that this will be hard to implement, as GHC does not store the user-written definition of functions anywhere. Given that this belongs as a ghc-proposal instead of a Trac ticket, I will close. This ticket can be reopened when the proposal is accepted. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13811#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
