Re: [Haskell-cafe] if-then without -else?

Was this considered at some point in Haskell's design process?

I don't know, but such an `if .. then` without `else` would encourage bad coding practices, IMO. On a related note: in C and friends if can do if () { .... }; but you can't do int x = E1 ? E2; So, even those pragmatic people (including those C++ people who like to include not just the kitchen sink but the surrounding farm as well) agree with Haskell's designers. Stefan
