Type classes map parametric polymorphism onto overloading. As in Haskell. Doesn't have much to do with objects, except perhaps that we have functions, which take values of some types T1, T2 .. Not sure I understand tossing the object system: its just syntactic sugar for a function returning a record of multiple closures, a more static version of CLOS (Common Lisp Object System). If you don't take sugar in your coffee .. don't put sugar in it. -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
