FWIW, if the book's going to use GADTs then they make building monads without the use of monad transformers much easier - much like constructing a simple virtual machine or interpreter. Which IMO reinforces an important intuition about just what we use monads for. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is no magic bullet. There are, however, plenty of bullets that magically home in on feet when not used in exactly the right circumstances. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
