Re: [Haskell-cafe] Top-level state debate on the wiki

I put up a wiki page summarizing the main proposals for top-level mutable state. The type-dictionary approach isn't there yet, but there's a space for it; I'll probably fill it in within the next 24 hours unless someone else feels like doing it first.

Please add more detail, objections, examples. Especially examples!

Here's the page:

http://haskell.org/hawiki/GlobalMutableState

(It also includes an explanation of why I chose that title, though of course you're welcome to dispute that too.)

Thankyou for this. Good summary so far I think. I wish you hadn't called it GlobalMutableState though :) I prefer the term "top level" myself. Regards -- Adrian Hey
