update on this project

[nrolland]

hi, this looks really interesting and good, but the warning to not use it is pretty daunting.

Is this package meant to receive some love in the future, or has the discussion taken place and the package will die a beautiful death ?

[fisx]

discussion is still ongoing, but very slowly.

the next steps:

• come up with a tiny-configifier version similar to http://www.well-typed.com/blog/2015/11/implementing-a-minimal-version-of-haskell-servant/
• decide that there are advantages of this approach over the generics approach best explained by pointing to https://github.com/soenkehahn/getopt-generics (or make configifiers death as beatiful as we can :-)
• think about how the API can be made more convenient
• use ghc-8.0 innovation to get rid of the ugly Proxy syntax, make type errors interesting, etc.

unfortunately there is no schedule, though. would you be interested in chipping in?

anyway: please don't unwatch us! (-:
