Page listing all core libraries #326

Open hdgarrood opened 7 years ago

hdgarrood commented 7 years ago

I think it could be helpful to put all the core libraries on their own page on Pursuit, so that people who are relatively new to PureScript can look through it and familiarise themselves with them. I think this would also be a good place to clarify what a "core library" is, as this doesn't seem to be particularly clear to newcomers right now. I'd want to replace the link to Prelude on the front page with a link to this core libraries page (of course, Prelude would then be listed on that page).

I think this would go a long way toward addressing the issue raised in #158 and also some of the issues raised in https://github.com/purescript/documentation/issues/43.

What I've wanted for a while is for pursuit to order first by core libraries, then third party libraries. A lot of names are used across libs and I almost always want the one that defined in a core repo.

Do you mean when searching by name?

Thimoteus commented 7 years ago

Yes, for example: apply, it's not until the 4th listing that I get the definition of <*>

hdgarrood commented 7 years ago

Right, agreed. I'd prefer to consider that in a separate issue though.

Thimoteus commented 7 years ago

Understood.
