Thanks for clearing that up somewhat. I have been writing substantial Haskell programs and I use *NO* experimental features. What I'm currently working on is over 20000 lines of Haskell 98. No extensions whatsoever. (It even compiles and runs with all available Haskell implementations.) Granted, I write mostly compiler like programs (files in, files out), but there is still a lot you can do in Haskell just as it is. Sometimes it might require bending slightly backwards to get it done, though. -- Lennart PS. OK, a small confession, that program contains one unsafePerformIO for performance reasons. It works fine without it, but 5% slower. _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
