Libraries for Generic Programming in Haskell
نویسندگان
چکیده
These lecture notes introduce libraries for datatype-generic programming in Haskell. We introduce three characteristic generic programming libraries: lightweight implementation of generics and dynamics, extensible and modular generics for the masses, and scrap your boilerplate. We show how to use them to use and write generic programs. In the case studies for the different libraries we introduce generic components of a medium-sized application which assists a student in solving mathematical exercises.

Comparing Datatype Generic Libraries in Haskell
Datatype-generic programming is about defining functions that depend on the structure, or “shape”, of datatypes. It has been around for more than 10 years, and a lot of progress has been made, in particular in the lazy functional programming language Haskell. There are more than 10 proposals for generic programming libraries or language extensions for Haskell. In this paper we compare and chara...
متن کاملUsage of Generic Programming on Hackage
Generic programming language constructs, tools and libraries have been available in Haskell since the first report on the programming language Haskell. At the beginning of the 1990s generic programming techniques could be used via the deriving construct, and since then numerous generic programming libraries and tools have been developed. At the time of writing, the categories ‘generic’ and ‘gen...
متن کاملHierarchy in Generic Programming Libraries
Generic programming (GP) is a form of abstraction in programming languages that serves to reduce code duplication by exploiting the regular structure of algebraic datatypes. Several different approaches to GP in Haskell have surfaced, giving rise to the problem of code duplication across GP libraries. Given the original goals of GP, the is a rather unfortunate turn of events. Fortunately, we ca...
متن کاملComparing Approaches to Generic Programming in Haskell
The last decade has seen a number of approaches to datatype-generic programming: PolyP, Functorial ML, ‘Scrap Your Boilerplate’, Generic Haskell, ‘Generics for the Masses’, and so on. The approaches vary in sophistication and target audience: some propose fullblown programming languages, some suggest libraries, some can be seen as categorical programming methods. In these lecture notes we compa...
متن کاملGeneric Programming for Domain Reasoners
An exercise assistant is a tool that supports students learning procedural skills, such as solving systems of linear equations, or rewriting a logic expression to disjunctive normal form. The domain reasoner is the component of an exercise assistant that deals with tasks that depend on the semantics of a particular domain. An exercise assistant typically has multiple domain reasoners, and the b...
