At the same time, there are lots of other components which are more debatable, such as providing polymorphic versions of common functions. + + So @basic-prelude@ is intended to give a common foundation for a number of alternate preludes. The package provides two modules: @CorePrelude@ provides the common ground for other preludes to build on top of, while @BasicPrelude@ exports @CorePrelude@ together with commonly used list functions to provide a drop-in replacement for the standard @Prelude@. + + Users wishing to have an improved @Prelude@ can use @BasicPrelude@. Developers wishing to create a new prelude should use @CorePrelude@. + + Release history: + + [0.3] Moved a number of exports from @BasicPrelude@ to @CorePrelude@ and vice-versa. + + [0.2] Renamed @BasicPrelude@ to @CorePrelude@ and added a new @BasicPrelude@ module provided a full-featured @Prelude@ alternative. Also added a number of new exports. + + [0.1] Initial version, code taken from @classy-prelude@ with a few minor tweaks. + </longdescription> + <upstream> + <remote-id type="github">snoyberg/basic-prelude</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
