Planet Mitchell

Summary

planet-mitchell is my very own Haskell package planet.

It contains no new code, only re-exports from base and various well-known packages, similar to https://hackage.haskell.org/package/rebase.

  • Control., Data., Foreign., etc. module prefixes are stripped. The idea here is that, if a name such as Applicative is sufficiently unambiguous in the Haskell ecosystem, it deserves as short a module name as possible.

    See the elm standard library for inspiration.

  • The module hierarchy is not faithful to the underlying packages. Many modules contain related re-exports from multiple packages, and I've invented a few new sin-bin modules such as Concurrency, Parallelism, Eval, and Debug.

  • To reduce API surface area and encourage a consistent vocabulary, redundant functions like sequence and mapM are not re-exported.

  • Odd, uncommon, and deprecated types and functions (like WrappedApplicative) are not re-exported.

  • Partial functions are discouraged and mostly live in .Partial modules. (This is a work-in-progress).

  • Unsafe functions are discouraged and mostly live in .Unsafe modules. (This is a work-in-progress).

  • String is heavily discouraged, and many String IO functions are not re-exported; Text and/or ByteString versions are re-exported instead.

  • Generalizations like MonadIO / MonadUnliftIO are used where possible.

Stability

Alpha quality, massive breaking changes should be expected and no changelog will be kept for some time. Don't use this package.
