My comments are simply based on seeing the structure is similar to OO, and so must have the same problems, but one level up. This doesn't make typeclasses useless, any more than classes are useless :) Obviously, they're useful and I very much like the simply way constraints propagate. If anything, 'if it is good enough for GHC and Simon .. ' who the heck am I to argue? Felix has OO style classes (weakly supported). With typeclasses we'd get Monads for free .. and that would be a considerable asset by itself. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
