Initial code

[chris-martin]

A start on https://app.asana.com/0/home/1205102828747536/1207731129044880

I've opted to check the spec into this repo, because if for some reason it changes under us, I'd like to be able to see easily whether it was the spec that changed or the code generator.

Unlike most projects, there's no --pedantic and no hlint in the build, because they wouldn't pass and we don't care.

The generation is done via Just and Nix, which I guess are both controversial. I found Nix quite expedient since it provides the build dependencies, and Just expedient because I don't remember how to write a Makefile anymore, but we could add another build system alternative if desired.

Some regex replacements are done with perl, which I don't really know well, but is there a better cross-platform way to this? (sed has the stupid linux/macos difference with -i)

todo:

• add a readme
• get some additional metadata into the cabal file
• add a github release workflow

I wouldn't say they're "controversial" as much as they're unfamiliar to the team. I'm personally fine with both of them being in this project -- it's just worth noting that there's more to know/learn for other maintainers.

This is likely good enough if it works for our local setups and GHA.

How much of this is from our haskell project template?

In other words, are there specific areas you'd like reviewed here?

[chris-martin]

Good question, the only things not generated or from the template are:

• Justfile
• generator-config.yaml
• version.txt

LGTM.
