ANNOUNCE: GHC survey results

2005-06-28 Thread Simon Marlow
We've finally digested the results of the GHC survey, and you can find
our analysis here:

There's a lot to take in, but it's an interesting read.  Enjoy!

 Some people would like features removed (implicit parameters was mentioned a 
couple of times). Linear implicit parameters is a clear candidate for removal.


I don't understand the motivation for this. Implicit parameters do weird 
things with the monomorphism restriction, but when I'm worried about 
that, I choose not to use them together.


Why remove a feature from a product? Why not, instead, just choose to 
not use it?
