? If yes, how? In general, programmers are **advised** not to base conditional branching on tests for **equality** of two floating point values. 3. Is this particular behaviour GHC specific? (I am using GHC 6.12.1) If there are references on this please share. Thanks and regards, -Damodar Kulkarni

[Haskell-cafe] Why Kleisli composition is not in the Monad signature?

Hi, The Monad class makes us define bind (=) and unit (return) for our monads. Why the Kleisli composition (=) or (=) is not made a part of Monad class instead of bind (=)? Is there any historical reason behind this? The bind (=) is not as elegant as (=), at least as I find it. Am I missing

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Why Kleisli composition is not in the Monad signature?

@Jake In my opinion, this is not as nice as the do-notation version, but at least it's compositional: That's an important point you have made, as Haskellers value code composition so much. If code composition is the holy grail, why not encourage the monadic code, too, to be compositional?

Re: [Haskell-cafe] [Haskell] Spam on the Haskell wiki

We could even have a report spam button on each page, and if enough users click on it (for a given revision), the revision gets forwarded to a moderator. I think, this will be of real use, but should be used along with CAPTCHA because then spammers may report spam for everything and anything

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Reddy on Referential Transparency

So a language is referentially transparent if replacing a sub-term with another with the same denotation doesn't change the overall meaning? But then isn't any language RT with a sufficiently cunning denotational semantics? Or even a dumb one that gives each term a distinct denotation.
