Re: Are there GHC extensions we'd like to incorporate wholesale?

One objective would be to compile the Haskel Platform with near zero extensions.

There are a few GHC features that have become part of the regular Haskell landscape, such that it's hard to imagine a modern Haskell without them. For example, MultiParamTypeClasses, OverloadedStrings, GADTs, TypeFamilies, etc. How much "work" is typically involved in promoting a feature to be in the Report, and how do we determine when it's a bad idea? -- John Wiegley                  GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com                         60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2 _______________________________________________ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
