Re: [Haskell-cafe] cradle: a simpler process library

Yeah, maybe it would have been nicer to do it that way. Re: shake's cmd. Yes, that's exactly the inspiration. We removed the polymorphism and varags aspect of the *arguments* (but kept it for the *outputs*) because it felt like it complicated signatures, type inference, and documentation for no real gain. But at the start "cradle" was almost just a pure separation of shake's cmd into a new package. On Wed, May 15, 2024 at 5:29 AM Isaac Elliott wrote:

Nice. I first saw this style of polymorphic command output in Shake.Command[1].

I'm surprised that `cmd` doesn't take an argument list, given how common it is to pass command args. I think it should; I'm willing to type `cmd "ls" []` so that `cmd "ls" ["-l"]` is shorter.

Hi all,

We just released cradle, a library aimed at a being simpler and more intuitive subprocess library. More details in:

- The announcement: https://garnix.io/blog/announcing-cradle - The hackage page: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cradle-0.0.0.0/docs/Cradle.html

Feedback welcome!
