Thread on scala ml: Usefulness of OOP

Hi all, I'd like to mention an interesting thread on the scala mailing list about usefulness of OOP. http://www.nabble.com/-scala--usefulness-of-OOP-td23268250.html Martin Odersky, scala creator, advocates the use of OOP using an interesting toy problem. I would be very interested about the haskell point of view on the topic. Is there any haskell guru that wants to take a stub at the problem or give his opinion? Thanks Paolo

Did you read the HaskellWiki link given in the comments? http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/OOP_vs_type_classes The top of the page suggests it's incomplete but there is a lot of stuff in there including example code. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
