Re: [Haskell-cafe] Does anybody dislike implicit params as much as I do?

There is an old joke in Russia: - I don't like cats. - You just don't know how to cook them. Well, maybe, you don't know how to cook implicit parameters? Anyway, what about type classes - aren't they a sort of implicit parameters? On 12 Mar 2009, at 23:36, Thomas Hartman wrote:

I understand there are arguments for using IPs, but after this experience, the ImplicitParams extension is a "code smell" for me. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
