[Haskell-cafe] Associated Type Synonyms question

2006-02-10 Thread Niklas Broberg
Hi, I'm playing around with associated type synonyms (ATS) [1] and the PHRaC interpreter, trying to model existing uses of FDs. I really enjoy working with ATS, but I've come across a situation that I don't quite know how to handle, or indeed if it can be handled at all. The scene is

hsp can be run in two different modes. Running the full-blown version with runtime system will probably be hard on a professional site, you would have to convince them to install hsp. But if you can do without the fancier bits, in particular application-scoped data, you can run hsp pages as

Why is it that everything that OO steals from the functional paradigm is always marketed as something new that will revolution the way we program? Can't they at least give some credit where credit is due? :-p

Regexps and XML are, IMHO, also must haves. By the way, it should be possible to handle regular expressions in an Haskell-like way. Harp? :-) http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~d00nibro/harp /Niklas ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org

Shameless plug warning. From what I can tell, there are two problems with WASH: 1) Everything must be done the WASH way 2) WASH is mostly broken with GHC 6.4 Let me elaborate a bit on #1. Let's say I have a CGI interface pre-defined; I take certain parameters from a GET request and

I've just started experimenting with the new Cabal system, and I must say it's really sweet. Thanks a lot to all involved! After trying it on some simple tasks I have collected a few questions: * What about 'setup uninstall'? Surely there should be an automatic way of uninstalling packages and

I am part of a project working on an implementation of an HSP system, very much inspired by the paper you mention by Eric Meijer and Daan Leijen. It is our goal to make a complete HSP system with a model for HTML in Haskell, a pre-processor, and a runtime system/plugins for various web servers.
