<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Extensible and Modular Generics for the Masses (EMGM) is a library for generic programming in Haskell using type classes.<br>
<br>This is the initial release of a maintained library for EMGM. Other versions have previously existed in various states from various sources. We plan to continue updating and maintaining this version.</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">

<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">The research for EMGM originated with Ralf Hinze. It was extended with work by Bruno Oliveira and Andres Löh. More details of the library functionality were explored by Alexey Rodriguez. We are very grateful to all of these people for the foundation on which this library was built.</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
