G'day all. Quoting Ertugrul Soeylemez <e...@ertes.de>:
In its highest level "not fragmenting the user base" means going back to C++ and Windows.
Ha. You wouldn't say that if you were familiar with the current state of C++ on Windows. Since nobody has come out and admitted it, here's the real problem: What constitutes the best API for a monad library is still a research problem. This is evidenced by the fact that a few times a year we get yet another paper which proposes a fundamental change to the API which would improve matters in yet another direction. Transformers, monadLib and MTL all have their respective strengths and weaknesses, but they are all considerably behind the state of the art, if you go by published research.
