Is it possible to replace the current vector-about modules with the outside one? about yampa HOT 5 CLOSED

Indeed, we've mentioned this before.

We can't go for linear, due to its dependencies. On Android, some of them do not compile, and also they result in huge executables due to poor support for dead code elimination.

I once suggested that we switched to vector-space, but it also has too many unnecessary dependencies. But now that void is in base, maybe this will not be needed anymore.

In short: we need to minimise dependencies, and no template haskell, directly or indirectly.

If you can think of a simple solution that addresses those concerns, I'm all ears.

I have to admit that there is no elegant radical solution to the vector, and will not come into being in the status quo of ghc extentions. Probably it is time that can solve this. Thus keeping current vector modules may be the best compromise.

Sadly, it is. However, clearing vector away from Yampa is a good long-term direction. We can always provide a yampa-essential or yampa-starterpack package that pulls all the necessary dependencies for newbies. The good news is that we are facing similar problems in our library dunai (ivanperez-keera/dunai#13), so the solution for dunai might be applicable for Yampa.

I'm closing this for now as a wontfix, but feel free to re-open in the future if you can suggest a good solution.

FYI, I've just sent an email to Yampa's mailing list asking for opinions on this.

Following the discussion in that mailing list, we are going to externalize all geometry modules.
