I wonder how different would have been the history of Haskell if Wadler had not borrowed the terminology "class" and "method". Since Helium has a focus on Haskell learners/beginners: I wonder how much confusion we might have saved those coming from OOP where the terms mean something really quite different. We might have avoided "class" altogether; and talked of "overloaded function".
Similar to C++, perhaps? Cheers Ben
