The premise of basic-prelude is that there are a lot of very commonly
|
|
desired features missing from the standard Prelude, such as commonly used
|
|
operators (<$> and >=>, for instance) and imports for common datatypes
|
|
(e.g., ByteString and Vector). At the same time, there are lots of other
|
|
components which are more debatable, such as providing polymorphic versions
|
|
of common functions.
|
|
|
|
So basic-prelude is intended to give a common foundation for a number of
|
|
alternate preludes. The package provides two modules: CorePrelude provides
|
|
the common ground for other preludes to build on top of, while BasicPrelude
|
|
exports CorePrelude together with commonly used list functions to provide a
|
|
drop-in replacement for the standard Prelude.
|
|
|
|
Users wishing to have an improved Prelude can use BasicPrelude. Developers
|
|
wishing to create a new prelude should use CorePrelude.
