Jules,
Thanks for these comments. i wouldn't judge Haskell solely on the basis of
whether it embraced reflection as an organizing computational principle or
as a toolbox for programmers. Clearly, you can get very far without it. And,
it may be that higher-order functional gives you enough of the '

Neil,
Thanks very much for the detailed response. When we did Rosette, a
reflective actor-based language, back in the late '80's and early '90's, we
were very much influenced by Brian Cantwell Smith's account of reflection in
3-Lisp and similarly by Friedman and Wand's "Mystery of the Tower Reveal

Pretty much, no. The GHC API may provide some.

Haskellians,
Am i wrong in my assessment that the vast majority of reflective machinery
is missing from Haskell? Specifically,
- there is no runtime representation of type available for
programmatic representation
- there is no runtime representation of the type-inferencing or
checkin
