Consider using hashabler to support hashing arbitrary types? #2

Closed jberryman closed 7 years ago

jberryman commented 8 years ago

Would you be interested in merging changes that permitted hashing of arbitrary Hashable types from my hashabler package? The resulting hash functions would look something like:

xxHash :: Hashable a=> a -> XXHash

where a may also be ByteString. This would allow hashing of arbitrary haskell values in a performant way (without needing to marshal to a bytestring first), and cross-platform consistent way, etc.

Let me know if you're interested and would like more details about what that might look like.

Missed this, sorry.

Certainly would merge such changes, if you'd still like to.
