G'day all. Quoting Koen Claessen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

My personal take on why nobody uses it is that when you have a large library of data structures, all of which support various interfaces, the problem arises as to how you pick which one to use. Without looking, what is the difference between a BraunSeq and a BankersQueue? I've also found it hard to merge data structures which are embedded in a monad with data structures which are not. Getting a consistent interface there is hard. If you can think of a solution to either or both of these problems... > Hereby, I call for a revival of Edison! :-) ...give me your sourceforge ID and I'll add you as a developer. :-) Cheers, Andrew Bromage _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
