Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: new bridge! (prelude-prime)

I wish it was possible to use an extension CustomPrelude = Prelude.Prime In the cabal file 2013/5/23 Roman Cheplyaka

I liked Andreas's idea (cited below). Hence the new package prelude-prime.

Pull requests are welcome, but let's stick to widely agreed changes (like the Foldable/Traversable one). I think one of the reasons why other Preludes haven't been adopted is because they were too radical.

Let's see whether people here can put their code where their mouth is :)

Maybe instead of fiddling with the current Prelude (which might break backwards compatibility), we should design a new prelude which is not automatically loaded but contains roughly the current prelude (with the list functions generalized to collections) plus the "modern" type class stack: Functor, Applicative, Monad, Foldable, Traversable, Monoid etc.

I am willing to write

{-# LANGUAGE NoImplicitPrelude #-} import Base

if I get a decent, "modern" standard set of functions that could be considered as the base vocabulary of modern Haskell programmers...

I just do not want to think about the democratic process involved in this design...

Cheers, Andreas
