[Haskell-cafe] latest Hood ?

[Hugo Pacheco]

In fact, Hood is just the module Debug.Observe.GHood just extends
Debug.Observe with some more constructs to handle visualizations, for
instance, it adds a temporal dimension to observations.
This means that you can use the GHood cabal package nonetheless, and be able
to use both GHood graphically or textually (the features of Hood). GHood
gives you both.

Whenever you use runO, it will call the Java applet with the graphical
visualization but still output the textual trace from Hood.

As an example, just import Debug.Observe (the GHood one), run ghci and type

> runO $ print $ (length . observe "List Int" .concat) [[1,2],[3,4]]

I suggest you install the cabal package and try the sample module form the
Hood homepage:

Feel free to ask for anything.
Cheers,
hugo
