fsprojects / fsharp.compatibility Goto Github PK

I'm not sure if this is the correct place, but I'd like to see a shim for F# 4.0 compatibility.

I see the following feature:

• Create a .fs file with all the blessed 4.0 lib functions that are not available today (but already merged in official branch)
• Make this file working standalone

Users could download the file and just remove it when F# 4.0 is available. Optionally one could use Paket to manage the version in client programs (see http://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/github-dependencies.html#Referencing-a-single-file).

Of course not all lib functions will have same performanve characteristics since we can't use all the low-level tricks. But having an easy way to use List.groupby and co. would be really helpful.

When I bring FSharp.Compatibility.Ocaml in a get assembly references to FSharp.Compatibility.OCaml, FSharp.PowerPack, FSharp.PowerPack.Linq, FSharp.PowerPack.MetaData, FSharp.PowerPack.Parallel.Seq.

Thats a lot of dependencies just to use String.uncapitalize from Ocaml !!

According to NuGet the OCaml lib was last published on there on 2013-07-07 (v0.1.10)
But according to 57861ff, the latest changes were only applied on 2013-07-20.

The specific issue I experience after switching from the old Ocaml Combatibility library in Powerpack to yours, is that "invalid_arg" (Pervasives.fs) "is not defined".
Would you mind updating the package on Nuget?

FSharp.Compatibility.Ocaml.Big_int.big_int_of_string does not parse hex and octal notation correctly.

Ocaml's Z.of_string can parse hex and octal notation, whereas F#'s cannot.

The travis build is failing, can this be fixed? https://travis-ci.org/fsprojects/FSharp.Compatibility

Here, you can find a comprehensive integration for Haskell. The maintainer think, its nice to move the code into this repo here. See also: fsprojects/FSharpPlus#66
