Re: [Haskell-cafe] Coding conventions for Haskell?

That's not so nice looking now, but consider what happens when you have four or five arguments:

type Label = String type Address = String

data Foo a b = Foo (Maybe Label) Address a | Bar Label b | Foobar Label Address a b

This is rather neat. Instead of focusing effort on parsing the source, we can merely compare lines for the differences in logic they embody.

Note that it depends on a mono-spaced font. Works as intended in my terminal emulator window, and anywhere you or I have gone to the trouble, but my initial look at it was in my email, which as usual is a proportional font, and nothing lines up after the first column. Donn
