I’m looking to appreciate “retro” Haskell projects,
If "retro" = "old", then look at this from 1997
https://github.com/jwaldmann/rx (state at first commit)
And, I second what others have suggested:
Paul Hudak: Haskore,
https://web.archive.org/web/19970206084830/http://haskell.cs.yale.edu:80/haskore/Peter Thiemann: Wash,
http://www2.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~thiemann/haskell/WASH/
The pinnacle of Haskell retrocomputing certainly is
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/0.29/
... things from before stabilization/company use.
Haskell(98,2010) does have stability:
language and core libraries adhere to the report.
It's the companies that are destroying it :-)
But you're right, they also spend effort on stabilization.
When I cabalized my project in/around 2014,
I was pleasantly surprised how little change it needed.
Basically, just build-depend: haskell98.
Don't read the actual source too closely - it's full of
Lists and Ints, because, well .. little did I know at the time.
On the other hand: naive means of expression, combined with
absence, or ignorance, of libraries - makes future-proof software.
Will you tell us the results of your appreciations?
Are you "just" collecting sources? (already that is worthwhile)
Compiling them? Running? Benchmarking?
Writing a paper? I'd love to read that.
