Re: [Haskell-cafe] New to Haskell
- the syntax for an expression - the syntax for a block Don't see your point. The point is the syntax is introduced as transformation of layout form to non layout form. As a user, I just want to be able to spot the basic components of a source file without thinking about transformation rules.
Well, most users are.
Oh, that's pretty easy, parenthesized expression is not divided by a comma. Thanks! What is the end of a block ? What introduce new blocks ?
Not sure what you mean by "block" here.
Is this legal (`plus`) x y ?
Never tried to write this myself, it looks stupid.
It's this a tuple ? ([a,b,c,d ]) ?
No, since all commas are in the subexpression.
then your putStrLn would be performed twice. IO actions are first-class values, that's a feature, not a bug. What guarantees that by running the main, the string "Hello world" will be printed exactly twice ?
What kind of guarantees do you want?
I just want the sistem to be able to print one of these expressions ! Its this too much to ask ?
Yes, 'cause it means you want to embed almost all source code into the compiled program.

Well, most users are. Are what ?
"Able to spot" or "thinking about ..." Have you asked them all ?

What else haven't you tried to write by know ? It's a kind of mirror, you know .

Written in blood.
