Sometimes I wish for a -fphp flag that would turn some type errors into warnings. Example:
v.hs:8:6: Couldn't match expected type `[a]' against inferred type `()' In the first argument of `a', namely `y' In the expression: a y In the definition of `c': c = a y
GHC could substitute 'y = error "Couldn't match expected type `[a]' against inferred type `()'"' and compile anyway.
Would that bring Haskell closer to Python?
It would make people abuse that feature. I don't want it.
I do, particularly in GHCi. I don't mind if Haskell refuses to build a binary, but having to comment out coded in order to load bits in GHCi is definitely a pain.
I wonder why I don't have to do that. You may be thinking in a different language. With the semantics of Haskell also comes a certain programming style, I think. Greets, Ertugrul -- nightmare = unsafePerformIO (getWrongWife >>= sex) http://ertes.de/
