Most languages, even Java, have a reflection capability to dynamically inspect an object. It is surprising that Haskell doesn't offer it.
how about asm? :) there are no OOP objects in Haskell, each name is just an address of memory area. all operations are checked statically (at compile time). reflection capabilities may be only handmade - you can get any type info via hidden class dictionary (see http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/papers/class/class.ps.gz for details of type classes implementation) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
