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

Why not expand it even further?

class Monoid m where    (•) :: m -> m -> m    (∅) :: m

(∈) :: (Foldable t, Eq a) => a -> t a -> Bool

(∘) :: (b -> c) -> (a -> b) -> (a -> c)

(∧) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool

etc.

We can write a whole Haskell library full of these aliases -- "syntactic-heroin" perhaps? ;)

Why would you go that far and still not have → ? (: martin
