In C/C++ referential transparent functions code can be declared by appending a 'const' to the prototype, right? > I think that once the average programmer start to use one or two of > these features, he will feel a bit frustrated if its language don“t have > all the others, specially if he know haskell.

Extrapolating the habit of programmers from the past to the future, I predict that Haskell can only become a mainstream language once there is a cleaner, simpler, safer and more powerful programming language than Haskell. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
