Is there a good motivating example for recursive do? So far, I haven't grokked the various use cases, which are pretty terse. Maybe the syntax sugar gets in the way (dangling lets are a good case in point).
It's a bit like grokking a Monad: it's the way to alter state, through a chain of binds, culminating in a return, where values can't escape outside the Monad itself. Using IO as the example w/the (hidden) realworld parameter makes the explanation more opaque than it need be. -scooter Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: Greg Fitzgerald <gari...@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:24:23 To: Simon Peyton-Jones<simo...@microsoft.com> Cc: GHC users<glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org> Subject: Re: Update on GHC 6.12.1 _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
