[Haskell-cafe] Hi, I'm a Bolivian student working in my proyect of grade...

2005-10-12 Thread Soujiro Seta
Hello, sorry for this bother, I'm a student of computer science of one 
university of Bolivia (UMSS, Cochabamba - Bolivia http://www.umss.edu.bo/).


In my university the principal tool is Java and the OO paradigm, but for the 
area of programming languages we use the functional programming paradigm and 
Haskell.


I´m working in my project of grade, and one teacher suggest me to use 
something new, in this case Hugs98 for .NET for develop something 
interesant. At this time I have learned about ASP.NET and C# and I think to 
develop a Web Service, but I'm not so happy with the idea of my project, 
please, can you suggest me something interesant to develop with Hugs98 for 
.NET?, in other words, I'm asking you about a something interesant thing to 
develop using the .NET framework and haskell, something interesant to apply 
the functional paradigm and a intelligent architecture to implement it.


Thanks, and sorry for my bad english :(

Best regards.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Interest in helping w/ Haskell standard

 At the end of the Haskell Workshop at ICFP, we had the traditional
 Future of Haskell discussion (chaired by Andres Loeh). One of the
 main topics was the perceived need of a new standard, because the
 Haskell 98 standard is quite old already, and Haskell has evolved in
 the meantime, leading to a situation where almost none of the actually
 existing Haskell programs is according to the 98 standard. No clear
 opinion was visible on what form a new standard would take. There was,
 however, considerable support for the idea to standardize an
 incremental and moderate extension to Haskell 98 (working name
 Haskell 06 or Industrial Haskell). This effort would then be
 separate from discussion about the Real Next Version (dubbed Haskell
 2).

 John Launchbury asked for a show of hands of those who would be
 interested in helping out with the Haskell 06 standard.  I think
 helping means willing to spend a non-trivial amount of time.  That
 is, it's pretty well expected that most Haskellers will be willing to
 contribute to discussion on the mailing lists, but we're trying to get
 a list of those who want to take it to the next level.  If you raised
 your hand, or if you think this describes you, please email John
 Launchbury at [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I'm wondering what incremental and moderate extension means?
Does it mean completely backwards compatible or can it mean
completely new features including ones which subsume existing ones
(I'm specifically interested in seeing SPJ's records proposal
included, and a new module system).

I'd also like to point out the haskell wiki page:

http://www.haskell.org/hawiki/HaskellOhSix

Which already contain some desired features. Perhaps a running summary
of definate, maybe, and not until Haskell 2 features could be
kept there as discussions progress?

/S

I was intentionally not addressing that question, because it's pretty
much The Question.  I certainly don't know the answer; just trying to
figure out who wants to get involved, as a first step.

I think everyone is agreed, though, that any process is going to be a
very open one.

peace,
