I agree with that. The and = ... wasn't really an improvement over and xs = ... xs, and if the later is easier to read that's good.
the main goal here is readability, of course
What happened to isSpace, toLower and toUpper (, from the tutorial)?
it seems that this list is incomplete. i don't found a lot of I/O routines, such as interact or getContents one more reason to move it to wiki :)
I feel that Haskell is missing some basic string manipuation functions, like - replacing all occurances of one substring (or sublist) with another string (or list). - tokenize a string by an arbitrary delimeter
MissingH library contains such routines, although it is gpl'ed there is a (lazy) movement to establish such library, but noone still started it. well, to write something new open-source programmer just opens project and waits for contribution :) who is darcs maintainer on haskell.org? -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
