[Agda] printing infinite structures

[Setzer A.G.]

For printing infinite streams what you can do is to write using the COMPILE directive a function
which when compiled prints out the infinte stream as you wish (you could postulate it as a function from Streams(String) -> IO()  )
The only disadvantage is that you need to compile your code, but I when interacting with students the first thing they want to know is how to compile the code.

Hi,



Would it be possible to have a plugin to print infinite structures like streams (as in Haskell)? I have been playing around with streams and conats for my course and it is a bit underwhelming when you can’t see them. Ok ok I can write functions which convert an initial part into a finite structure but this is a lot of extra work and not so much fin.



Cheers,

Thorsten
