We're nearly done with Haskell 98. * In my last progress report I said: However a couple of other similar proposals have been made - add succ and pred to class Enum - add atan2 to class RealFloat I've had no complaints so I consider this done. * Still no decision about the

Now that Javasoft is on the verge of releasing the jdk1.2, I figure that it is time to try to call Java from Haskell again. Java would provide Haskell with * JDBC database access (standard database access on platforms other than windows) * HTTP client and server libs * JavaSpaces linda style

Could someone give me a reference on transcendental types (and how algebraic+transcendental types are related to algebraic an transcendental numbers, if they are)? I'd appreciate it. -- __ / David Feuer \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | [EMAIL

Just want to say I think that GUI interaction does _not_ belong in a Haskell standard. Different GUIs act differently altogether. e.g., try coming up with a standard to fit X, Berlin, Oberon, and Windows NT.

My interpretation of the last set of mailings on the issue was that people had given up. Obviously that was incorrect. I would love to alpha test your Hakell2Java code. I browsed through the Opal docs and could not find the relevant documentation on a Java interface. Can you provide a more

I would like to point out that on Solaris there are 2 SUN JDK releases: so-called reference (put out by Javasoft) and production (by SunSoft). The latter has had native threads for a while. Certainly they are here in 1.6 and 1.7. I don't know what is the situation on Windows, though. -- O.L.
