Re: [Haskell-cafe] If you'd design a Haskell-like language, what would you do different?

One thing that concerns me is the use of capital letters to distinguish type and class names and constructors from values.  If I was doing it over I would use a typographical distinction like italics for types, bold for classes.  That way we could have a constructor named ∅, a function named ∈, a class named ℝ.

It's Algol all over again! Will we have to typeset our keywords in bold too?
