I now think :: for type signatures was a bad mistake. I don't use lists very much. They are not the right data structure for many things.
In my opinion all the special syntactic sugar for lists should go away. I don't think lists are special enough to motivate it.
I was going to disagree with you, but maybe you are right. Lists are very special (IMO), but we could live without the special [] syntax. But I guess we will agree to have some kind of special syntax for list comprehensions, be it []-comprehensions or monad comprehensions. PS. Lisp people are laughing at us, but I don't care ;-) Best regards Tomasz -- I am searching for programmers who are good at least in (Haskell || ML) && (Linux || FreeBSD || math) for work in Warsaw, Poland
