Re: Re: [Haskell-cafe] Wikipedia on first-class object

Absolutly. Every expression in Haskell denotes a value. Now, we've not agreed what "value" means, but to me it is a value. :) -- Lennart On Dec 27, 2007 3:28 PM, Cristian Baboi wrote:

How about x below:

let x=(1:x) in x ?

Is x a single value in Haskell ?

Comparing functions is certainly possible in Haskell, but there's no standard function that does it. If course, it might not terminate, but the same is true for many other comparable objects in Haskell, e.g., infinite lists (which are isomorphic to Nat->T).

The list [1 .. ] is a single value in Haskell ?
