Re: [Haskell-cafe] IO is not a monad

I think seq is funny because it is not lambda definable. All other constructs in H98 are (except for ! on data types which is defined in terms of seq). -- Lennart On Feb 8, 2007, at 01:12 , Yitzchak Gale wrote:

Haskell is a non-strict language, so non-strict values are legitimate, and so is seq. I don't see how seq is any more funny than irrational numbers are irrational or imaginary numbers are imaginary.
