Hi, I've finally gotten around to implement the newtype data defs in biocore. Type safety, yay!
Of course, it's nice to be able to convert sequence data to and from strings, bytestrings, and perhaps lists of integers (for quality data). Two options: implement IsString, or implement a separate class. Normally I'd go for IsString, but a stated (or unstated?) goal of biocore is a minimum of dependencies. Besides IsString might not be a good fit for quality data. Opinions? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Biohaskell mailing list Biohaskell@biohaskell.org http://malde.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/biohaskell
