[Haskell-beginners] Is there a an include statement equivalence in Haskell

[Krzysztof Skrzętnicki]

Hi

It's generally bad idea to include source code in this manner. It is
error prone, hard to understand and ugly. It's really better to use
modules instead.

But if you *really* want to rely on such hacks, then yes, it's
possible. Simply use cpp's #include. But first you need to enable CPP
extension. One way of doing it is writing this line as the first line:
> {-# LANGUAGE CPP #-}

With cpp in game you can then write:
> #include "common.hs"

Best regards
