[Haskell] ANN: HLint 1.6

Hi, I am pleased to announce HLint 1.6, a tool for automatically suggesting improvements to your Haskell code. For example: $ hlint darcs-2.1.2 CommandLine.lhs:49:1: Warning, eta reduce Found: quotedArg ftable = between (char '"') (char '"') $ quoteContent ftable Why not: quotedArg = between (char '"') (char '"') . quoteContent CommandLine.lhs:94:1: Error, use concatMap Found: concat $ map escapeC s Why not: concatMap escapeC s Ssh.hs:155:17: Error, use isPrefixOf Found: take 1 path == "~" Why not: "~" `isPrefixOf` path == INSTALLATION == To install hlint, do the standard cabal magic: cabal update && cabal install hlint The home page for HLint is: http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/hlint/ The manual is at: http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/darcs/hlint/hlint.htm == NEW FEATURES FROM 1.4 == * Upgrade to haskell-src-exts 1.0.0, this should fix lots of bugs * Add lots of new hints * Fix a pile of hlint specific bugs * Better HTML report generation * Parallel execution (on my machine, +RTS -N4 makes it run 3 times faster) * Better support for things the darcs project wanted Please try out HLint and let me know what you think! Thanks, Neil
