Excerpts from Gwern Branwen's message of Wed Apr 08 21:33:20 -0600 2009:
These are all good suggestions, but obviously they need to made more specific.
Here's one concrete suggestion. In Ubuntu/Debian, there's a package 'similarity-tester'. Install it and then do 'sim_text -d `find XMonadContrib/XMonad`' (changing path as appropriate). This identifies a number of repeated textual patterns.
Very very neat! This is much better than some of my other feeble attempts to find code duplication. My todo list just got about 3000 lines longer. ;-) Thanks for the reminder to run hlint, too, have been on ghc-6.8.3 machine too much and would have forgotten that before submitting next patch. -- wmw
