Research direction

Read the linked comment on haskell-src-exts pull request #475 and the discussion in agda/agda2hs#274 about ghc-source-gen. The issue asks maintainers to choose between taking over maintenance and switching libraries; done means reaching a decision, but it does not define criteria or implementation work for a newcomer.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

See https://github.com/haskell-suite/haskell-src-exts/pull/475#issuecomment-6323531223

We should decide whether someone wants to take over maintenance of this library or we want to switch to a different library such as ghc-source-gen as suggested in https://github.com/agda/agda2hs/issues/274 (but this library doesn't seem much better maintained).
