Any chance of including support for view patterns in a future release? http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/syntax-extns.html#vi... . The project I'm writing using HSE makes significant use of view patterns, and it would be lovely if I could be self applicable :-)
Chance, definitely. In the perfect world, HSE would support everything that any Haskell compiler supports, so you might say I "plan" to include every extension, it's just a question of time and priority. And getting explicit requests for a particular feature certainly increases the latter. (Oh how I wish it would increase the former too...) :-) Cheers, /Niklas
