Has HaRe been abandoned? (last activity in 2017)

[andreasabel]

Looks like HaRe has been abandoned. The last commit here is from 2017. There are no build plans for GHC > 8.0.
I made this fact explicit via revisions, e.g.: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/HaRe-0.8.4.1/revisions/

Maybe you want to make this explicit by archiving this repo or flagging the unmaintained status prominently in the README.

Is there any follow-up project? I am interested in a tool to find clones in Haskell code bases...

I have pretty much stopped working on this.

Your best bet is probably https://github.com/facebookincubator/retrie

@alanz Would it be hard (for me, ie little qualified in GHC API user) to update it to work on new GHC? Or it is very dependent on details?

@uhbif19 It is very dependent on details.

If you are prepared to give it a try, I could see how I could help, with reviews and such.

And FYI my most recent work (in 2019 :( ) is at https://github.com/alanz/HaRe/tree/ghc-8.8-hie-bios

Discussion thread about this https://discourse.haskell.org/t/patch-language-for-haskell/11076

Current suggestions are:

• retrie (already mentioned above) A powerful, easy-to-use codemodding tool for Haskell.
• apply-refact Perform refactorings specified by the refact library.
