More off-topic... but bear with me. :-) I'm starting with Haskell. I'm writing a real application with Gtk2hs and HDBC for a small furniture shop. I have enjoyed it very much so far, and I like the productivity boost. But I do not understand GADTs or functional dependencies yet. When I read threads such as this I begin to think. Are these black magic type skills necessary for day-to-day work, or just for tasks not doable in other languages, or at least not doable without much effort? Are they for working around some problems of HM type systems or do they give Haskell super-language powers? I guess I could answer these questions if I understood what FD and GATDs are all about, but I'm not just there yet. :-) Cheers, -- -alex _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
