It's just coding I think, going through the tracker, fixing a few things.
Note that by design Hoogle 5 won't give you id
or &&
for Bool -> Bool
- since if you want a function of type Bool -> Bool
then its unlikely that the two you give are what you are after.
I'm interested in helping pushing this forward. How can I help?
The landing page https://hoogle.haskell.org/ says "Warning: Alpha version, type search doesn't work!"
Indeed, e.g.,
Bool -> Bool
gives different results (&&
andid
are missing) (https://hoogle.haskell.org/?hoogle=Bool+-%3E+Bool vs https://www.haskell.org/hoogle/?hoogle=Bool+-%3E+Bool )So I will recommend the "earlier hoogle" (which knows about partially applied functions, and instantiating type parameters) to my students.
What is the status - what needs to be done to move these features to hoogle5? How hard would it be (does it require extra research or design, or ist "just coding")? Or is there a reason for not wanting it?
