Re: [Haskell-cafe] Unifcation and matching in Abelian groups

Hi

I've given up on using if-then-else in do expressions.  They confuse emacs.  There is a proposal for Haskell' to fix the problem, but until then, I will not use them in do expressions.

It's a shame, there are ways of indenting them that work, but they're not as natural. It's a wart, but it will be fixed.

I'm so glad new languages do not use the offset rule.

F# is new and has the offset rule. Haskell is old and has the optional offset rule: do { prob <- getLine ; test prob ; main} Now your indentation is your own :-) Some people prefer this style. Simon Peyton Jones uses it in the book beautiful code. I much prefer indentation only. Thanks Neil
