Thanks, all, especially Cale for the detail. This may be unfair to ask, but is anybody willing to give an example?  There are great examples for writing factorials.  However, that's not really useful.  I'm looking for a real-world example of using the language.  Specifically, the first page of

[Haskell] strictness of putChar: report incomplete?

2005-10-04 Thread John Meacham
The report does not seem to specify whether putChar _|_ is _|_ or not. (although it might be implied somewhere I didn't see) I orginally noticed this when jhc treated it as so and I considered this a bug since the argument should not be evaluated until the action is actually executed. however,
