Comparing Approaches To Generic Programming In Haskell
GenericProgramming
---++ Reference Ralf Hinze, Johan Jeuring, and Andres Löh. Comparing Approaches to Generic Programming in Haskell. In Roland Backhouse, Jeremy Gibbons, Ralf Hinze, and Johan Jeuring, editors, Lecture notes of the Spring School on Datatype-Generic Programming 2006, LNCS 4719, pages 72 - 149, 2007. ---++ Abstract 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 full-blown programming languages, some suggest libraries, some can be seen as categorical programming methods. In these lecture notes we compare the various approaches to datatype-generic programming in Haskell. We introduce each approach by means of example, and we evaluate it along different dimensions (expressivity, ease of use, and so on). ---++ Links * [[http://people.cs.uu.nl/johanj/publications/ComparingGpFinal.pdf][PDF]]
