It converts (textually) to and fro between Haskell
and Scalameta
AST
s.
Use a script to convert from Scalameta
"Source
" string to mirroring Haskell
classes, types and instances. Use the Show
instances to convert from mirrored
Haskell
types to Scalameta
string.
It is fairly complete as far as Scalameta
coverage is concerned.
It starts with "constraint" classes corresponding to Scalameta
traits,
goes through types corresponding to OOP, and ends with wrapper types that
have Show
instances.
The disadvantage is that constructors are "doubled", e.g., "TDo (SmDoT
" is
required, because "TDo
" involves type equality, while "SmDoT
" only uses type
constraints. ("T
" stands for "term
".)
It is used here at the
metaprogramming level to convert to and fro between Scala
and Haskell
.
