Hi Henning,
To install: cabal update && cabal install hlint
Fails for me, because of the base-4 dependency. - I'm still using GHC-6.8.2. Can HLint suggest view-pattern-free expressions, such that the program also runs on GHC-6.8 ? :-)
HLint is written using view-patterns so requires GHC 6.10 to compile it. After you have it compiled its just a standard Haskell binary, so can be run on any Haskell code and will never suggest view-patterns anyway.
My question was, whether HLint can help translating HLint to code without view patterns.
