[Haskell-cafe] Re: Pickling HList

[Joel Reymont]

Keean,

I sort of gave up on HList for the time being since I found easier  
ways to solve my problem.

Mainly, I could not estimate the impact it would have on run-time  
performance of my code and GHC not being able to compile the code was  
not a good indication. Simon PJ fixed that error since.

My idea was to, basically, create my own record sans labels. I wanted  
to specify picklers and default values for each field instead. I have  
over 250 records, though, and some have over 10 fields. There is a  
lot of sharing of fields between the records but I still think this  
is too much for GHC to handle.

Can you venture a guess on runtime performance of such code?

	Thanks, Joel
