Experimental tool to help me serialize data types between haskell and other languages

haskell-interop-prime

WIP

This library is based heavily off of https://github.com/pkamenarsky/purescript-interop. A great many thanks to Philip Kamenarsky. I was going to contribute to his library, but there are just way too many changes at this point. The basic idea is this: I want to write my data types in Haskell, then generate JSON instances for Haskell, equivalent types & JSON instances for other languages, and potentially even API hooks. Without a library like this, I find myself spending way too much time duplicating my efforts by writing the same types & JSON instances for both haskell and purescript.

This library is extremely experimental.

eventual refactor

I'm still figuring out what I need from this library. Eventually it will need a major refactor. Until then, i'd like to generate more instances for Haskell: Read, Eq, Ord, Enum, Show etc. I'd like to generate equivalent code between Haskell & Purescript so that, in my haskell source files, the only thing i'm deriving is Generic & Typeable.

This code is a train wreck. LMAO. I'm starting to enjoy adding more spaghetti. Though, it is useful. So, tasty spaghetti.
