Everyone should use a Generics library - writing HLint with Uniplate
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
A generics library allows programmers to express only the interesting part of certain tasks, avoiding lots of boilerplate and making the code significantly shorter and more maintainable. Haskell is awash with excellent generics libraries, including Scrap Your Boilerplate, Generics for the Masses, Generic Deriving and Uniplate, yet many developers will never have used any of them. This talk explains how to use the Uniplate generics library, using examples derived from the Haskell Lint tool (HLint), which makes extensive use of Uniplate.
