i put just the same opinion 1-2 months ago :))) but i got answer that current Haskell standard are too restrictive and ALL real programs use extensions. we need to standartize these de facto used extensions in order to simplify constructing of libraries and teaching language in universities/courses. we must explicitly declare the language really used in 2005, which is far away from the language used in 1998 -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
