#14389: Improved results in GHCi during basic calculations -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: vanto | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by svenpanne): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: This is a bug tracker for GHC, so one doesn't need to be a member of any Haskell Committee or such to open/close/modify tickets. Open Source is largely based on mutual agreement, not on organizational hierarchies. If you want to propose changes to the Haskell language per se, you can open a pull request on https://github.com/haskell/rfcs, but probably you should better start on the haskell-cafe mailing list to test your ideas. Anyway, for the current ticket at hand such a proposal would very probably have no success: You propose adding some kind of symbolic computation, but Haskell doesn't aim to be a computer algebra system like MATLAB or Mathematica. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14389#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
