Joe Fasel, John Peterson and I met recently to discuss the next step in
the evolution of Haskell.
While there are some big issues up ahead, (adding Gofer-like constructor
classes, for example), these should be considered for the next major
revision, Haskell 2.0.
For now, we want to be less ambitious, and produce a definition of
Haskell 1.3.
Topics on the agenda include:
Monadic IO
Strict data constructors
Records (naming field components)
Prelude hacking
Standardizing annotation syntax
We think the best way to proceed is to call for volunteers to form
a new committee to do the work on this.
So, who's interested?
