Description
This extension allows SQL-like clauses in list comprehensions:
employees = [ ("Simon", "MS", 80)
, ("Erik", "MS", 100)
, ("Phil", "Ed", 40)
, ("Gordon", "Ed", 45)
, ("Paul", "Yale", 60)]
output = [ (the dept, sum salary)
| (name, dept, salary) <- employees
, then group by dept
, then sortWith by (sum salary)
, then take 5 ]
Should be trivial to implement parser-wise, like with parallel list comprehensions the main question is how to support these in the AST. Probably keep them separate from ordinary statements. Also I need to investigate if/how parallel and generalised list comprehensions go together. My guess is they simply don't.
