Description:
'relude' is an alternative prelude library. If you find the default
'Prelude' unsatisfying, despite its advantages, consider using 'relude'
instead.
== Relude goals and design principles
* Productivity: You can be more productive with a "non-standard"
standard library, and 'relude' helps you with writing safer and more
efficient code faster.
* Total programming: Usage of partial functions can lead to unexpected
bugs and runtime exceptions in pure code. The types of partial
functions lie about their behavior. And even if it is not always
possible to rely only on total functions, 'relude' strives to
encourage best-practices and reduce the chances of introducing a bug.
* Type-safety: We use the "make invalid states unrepresentable" motto as
one of our guiding principles. If it is possible, we express this concept
through the types. Example: ' whenNotNull :: Applicative f => [a] ->
(NonEmpty a -> f ()) -> f () '
* Performance: We prefer 'Text' over 'String', use space-leaks-free
functions (e.g. our custom performant 'sum' and 'product'),
introduce 'INLINE' and 'SPECIALIZE' pragmas where appropriate,
and make efficient container types (e.g. 'Map', 'HashMap', 'Set') more
accessible.
* Minimalism (low number of dependencies): We do not force users of
'relude' to stick to any specific lens or text formatting or logging library.
Where possible, 'relude' depends only on boot libraries.
* Convenience: Despite minimalism, we want to bring commonly used types and
functions into scope, and make available functions easier to use.
* Excellent documentation:
1. Tutorial
2. Migration guide from 'Prelude'
3. Haddock for every function with examples tested by doctest
4. Documentation regarding internal module structure
5. 'relude'-specific HLint rules
* User-friendliness: Anyone should be able to quickly migrate to 'relude'.
Only some basic familiarity with the common libraries like 'text' and
'containers' should be enough (but not necessary).
* Exploration: We have space to experiment with new ideas and proposals
without introducing breaking changes. 'relude' uses the approach with 'Extra.*'
modules which are not exported by default. The chosen approach makes it quite
easy for us to provide new functionality without breaking anything and let the
users decide to use it or not.
