That would be because it's still very much an open area of research and nobody's quite sure what it covers. The one-line answer would be "pure transformations of data structures based on passed-in events" --- but that's so general it describes most Haskell programs. One additional part is that it's also a function of time... but time can be just one of the events, or a separate factor. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
