Expose more packages
tomsmeding opened this issue · 6 comments
Currently we expose only the GHC boot libs, which excludes potentially useful stuff like random. There is a design question here: how much do we want to expose? All of hackage is nigh impossible, all of stackage is potentially possible but very resource-hungry and frankly overkill. Installing packages on-demand is a rathole I'd rather not get into, I think. What to do?
I would suggest adding:
- vector
- random
- base16
- base64
- async
- aeson
- effectful-core
- effectful
at which point we could just as well expose a bunch more from their collective transitive dependency set:
aeson assoc async attoparsec attoparsec base16 base64 base-compat base-compat-batteries base-orphans bifunctors comonad contravariant data-array-byte data-fix distributive dlist effectful effectful-core generically hashable indexed-traversable indexed-traversable-instances integer-logarithms monad-control OneTuple primitive QuickCheck random safe-exceptions scientific semialign semigroupoids splitmix StateVar strict tagged text-short th-abstraction these time-compat transformers-base transformers-compat unliftio unliftio-core unordered-containers uuid-types vector vector-stream witherable
It looks like a solid set of packages indeed!
It would also be important to list in a "about" page/modal the list of these packages and their version as their appear in the freeze file
https://play-haskell.tomsmeding.com/saved/4PHAIH1d bunch of packages available now, these to be precise
Basic functionality has been implemented, remaining work is in #17
