Different programming languages

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hoogle for F-sharp would be very cool. Other languages like Clean/Curry/ML etc. 
should be possible.

This can be done in stages. Allow various languages, with an @language 
<language> option. In particular 
add:

@language raw
map :: a -> a -> a -- {$ {name map] : {1 a} * {2 a} ---> {3 a} }

Where the bit in {braces} is how to lay out the language in the destination 
language, the the bit on the 
left is the Haskell translation of it. Should work for most things very easily.

The first step is to contact developers of other Hindley-Milner languages, and 
see if any of them are 
interested in doing the development work necessary to generate the databases.

Marking as HelpMe, since this won't get done until developers from other 
languages 
want it, and provide textbases.

People also want this for Scala:

If you're looking for an F# volunteer, I'd be happy to pitch in.  What's 
required?

kbattocchi: I need to rewrite some bits of Hoogle first, but if you're willing 
to do 
the F# things I can prioritise them. The main requirement is to generate a list 
of the 
functions available in F# by package.

The necessary work to support this has been started, so volunteers for 
languages should contact me by email.

Note: The suggestion of @raw was probably a bad one, it should probably be 
specific to each language. Some details are given on this blog post:

Rustem Suniev has volunteered for Scala, and Keith Battocchi has volunteered 
for F#.

Note that there is now an alternative to Hoogle for Scala: http://scalex.org/

In case it helps anyone who comes across this issue searching for such a thing, 
someone has written up a Java version at 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4188919/how-to-search-for-java-api-methods-by
-type-signature/4203354#4203354 though I don't necessarily expect it to be 
integrated into Hoogle.

This is really something for other people in other languages to get involved 
in, not something I can do much about.
