Goals
This library provides convenient combinators for working with “locally-nameless” terms. These can be useful when writing a type checker, evaluator, parser, or pretty printer for terms that contain binders like forall or lambda, as they ease the task of avoiding variable capture and testing for alpha-equivalence.
See the documentation on hackage for more information, but here is an example:
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveFunctor #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveFoldable #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveTraversable #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
import Bound
import Control.Applicative
import Control.Monad
import Data.Functor.Classes

instance Applicative Exp where pure = V; (<*>) = ap
instance Monad Exp where
return = V
V a >>= f = f a
(x :@ y) >>= f = (x >>= f) :@ (y >>= f)
Lam e >>= f = Lam (e >>>= f)
lam :: Eq a => a -> Exp a -> Exp a
lam v b = Lam (abstract1 v b)
whnf :: Exp a -> Exp a
whnf (f :@ a) = case whnf f of
Lam b -> whnf (instantiate1 a b)
f' -> f' :@ a
whnf e = e

deriveShow1 ''Exp
main :: IO ()
main = do
let term = lam 'x' (V 'x') :@ V 'y'
print term -- Lam (Scope (V (B ()))) :@ V 'y'
print $ whnf term -- V 'y'
