Re: [Haskell-cafe] Data declaration vs type classes

Dear all, Thanks for the opinions. I'll go with type classes for now, because as Miguel said, I want it to be open :) Regards, Hon On 8 January 2016 at 19:46, Imants Cekusins wrote:

you convert String or Text: what encoding would you use?

let's say, this is very specific conversion where newtypes are used a lot. There are many different formats for Int (even the same type of int), String may be ascii, UTF8, ISO-..., you name it.

using class does not make a difference re: type definition in this case. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
