pointfree

Tool for refactoring expressions into pointfree form

Latest on Hackage:

1.1.1.3

This package is not currently in any snapshots. If you're interested in using it, we recommend adding it to Stackage Nightly. Doing so will make builds more reliable, and allow stackage.org to host generated Haddocks.

Pointfree refactoring tool
==========================

Stand-alone command-line version of the point-less plugin for lambdabot.
Detailed information about the use of this tool is available at
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Pointfree.

Integration with GHCi: Make sure that the directory containing the pointfree
executable is in your PATH environment variable and add the following line to
your GHCi configuration file:

:def pf \str -> return $ ":! pointfree \"" ++ str ++ "\""

Or modify the line to point directly to the executable. Invoke pointfree with
commands like

:pf \x y -> x + y

Future directions
=================

It would be nice to make pointfree a library that operated on ASTs.
