No. My view would be to let the free market of developers decide what is best. No bottlenecks -- there's too many Haskell libraries already (~1000 now). And this approach has yielded more code than ever before, more libraries than ever before, and library authors are competing. So let the market decide. We're a bazaar, not a cathedral. -- Don _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
