Re[2]: [Haskell-cafe] Interest in helping w/ Haskell standard

SS Does it mean completely backwards compatible or can it mean SS completely new features including ones which subsume existing ones SS (I'm specifically interested in seeing SPJ's records proposal SS included, and a new module system). i must figure out that these extensions are not really implemented at this moment. imho, before including something in standard we need to play with it some time imho, features for new Haskell standard must include extensions common for Hugs and GHC (because implementing in both compilers proves their usefulness) and most wanted features from GHC. Haskell2 wiki page are close to list all these features -- Best regards, Bulatmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

SS First of all I would like to urge the people who do end up working on SS this to seriously consider replacing H98's records system. I may be yes, it is a common viewpoint, afaik. the only problem is what this new record system was never really implemented, partially because it is not backward-compatible with H98, partially because Simons are not very like such syntax sugar extensions, they prefer real semantic beasts :) so, this proposal is a bit out of luck :))) -- Best regards, Bulatmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

A new revision of the Haskell standard is not SM the place for testing new research, rather it's a clear specification of SM existing well-understood language features. +1 :) but we may add them to standard definition as Possible extensions appendix. moreover, if some already implemented language extensions (f.e., Template Haskell) are not good enough to be included in standard itself, it may be also included here - just to have one place where many language extensions are described. and also a source for new features which MAY be included in Haskell2 -- Best regards, Bulatmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
