Re: [Haskell-cafe] what I learnt from my first serious haskell programm

G'day all. Quoting David House :

Surely within a group of related types there'd be no overlapping names anyway? [...] I like to prefix my record accessors with three letters that describe the type.

I do pretty much that too, but I wouldn't say that I "like" to do it. You're replacing a namespace system with a naming convention. If you enjoy that sort of thing, you might be happier programming in C. (Sorry, that was unfair.)

I don't really see why anything more complex would be needed.

Famous last words. Cheers, Andrew Bromage
