I'm especially interestes in engineering calculation tasks where cellular
automata could be used. In that case all u have to do is to give the class
the right properties and that "let it grow".
Such a localised intelligence approach seems an ideal OO - task. I don't
know whether something functional could achieve the same.
Thanks to your question, I took another look and the old and wonderful OOHaskell paper. It is very well written and describes almost exhaustively the haskell alternatives and their shortcomings:
Honestly, with the information I can have, my view is that the ·"let it grow" issue in the full is only achievable by following the OOHaskell path, but you can use the other ways paying a little price.
This past discussion also applies:
Sounds like a nice challenge. -- I'll chew on a small example.
Cheers Phil
