The Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an annual program funded by Google to allow hundreds of students around the world to participate in free or open source software.

GSoC is open to students using all kinds of technologies and each year we like to see many projects written in/for the haskell programming language.

Achieved Goals?

Refactor program with HLint suggestions

My project was refactoring programs with hlint suggestions. I'm counting it as a success but I am waiting for a new release of HSE and hlint before making an announcement. We can apply almost all suggestions from hlint.

Here is a demo of it working - https://camo.githubusercontent.com/a928338441f119fa911151c0db0ceaa72c51e0c4/687474703a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f3759586f5666742e676966
