This project provides an executable framework for developing and comparing build systems, viewing them as related points in landscape rather than as isolated phenomena. The code derives from the ICFP 2018 paper "Build Systems à la Carte" (PDF).
You may be interested to:
- Run
stack testto execute all the provided build systems on a very simple example. - Look at the HTML documentation of all modules for the last release,
or generate it yourself using
stack haddock. - Read the code, particularly Build.System, which is the concrete implementation of all build systems.
- Blog post on the motivation behind the project.
- Blog post on the task abstraction.
- Blog post reviewing how the paper was written.
