Lemmih, The current Haskell/Cabal module and packaging system is substantially annoying for the typical non-sysadmin end-user. In particular, if they move their code to another machine they have to do a bunch of different administrivia including: 1. knowing the source package for each module

A few quick thoughts: 1 Although technically HTTP URLs are locations rather than identifiers, that is the behavior we want in this context. If you want to trust someone else to serve you the correct module, you should specify it. A formal spec should define exactly what URI schemes are support

As I move from machine to machine, it would be nice not to have to install all the libraries I use over and over again. I'd like to be able to do something like this: import http://module.org/someLib as someLib If the requested module itself does local imports, the implementation would first

[Haskell] Monadification as a refactoring

2005-03-21 Thread S.J.Thompson
Dear Haskellers, We are interested in finding out from the Haskell community what sort of monadic programs people write, and in particular how they arrive at those programs. We have (Deling and Martin) developed a particular algorithm and tool for automatic monadification of Haskell programs, an

[Haskell] Unicode Source / Keyboard Layout

Greetings GHC and Haskell folk, please excuse the cross-post. This is a coordinational message. :) I've been longing for Unicode (UTF-8) input support in GHC for a long time. I am currently customizing a keyboard layout to include many mathematical operators and special characters which would be
