Re: [Haskell-cafe] Lisp like symbols in haskell

Probably in the same way integers are made redundant : data Integer = 0 | 1 | 2 | .... Cheers, Thu 2009/12/8 Lyndon Maydwell :

Aren't symbols made redundant by algebraic data types?

Hello,

Has there already been attempts to introduce lisp like symbols in haskell?

Thank you

J-C,

Do you mean symbols as in "interned strings with an O(1) string comparison method"? I would love to have those, but I don't see an easy way to get it without being in the IO or ST monad.
