[Haskell-cafe] Configuration Problem and Plugins

2011-09-03 Thread M. George Hansen
Greetings, I'm a Python programmer who is relatively new to Haskell, so go easy on me :) I have a program that uses (or will use) plugins to render output to the user in a generic way. I'm basing the design of the plugin infrastructure on the Plugins library, and have the following interface:

Hi there, I wanted to give the 2.1.0 version a try, so I followed the install instructions on the website and downloaded one of the available Eclipse packages (I chose Eclipse IDE for JavaScript Web Developers). Installing EclipseFP then gave me the following error: Cannot complete the install

Sorry, there was an error in the installation instructions. You need to download a version of Eclipse with Java support (Eclipse for Java developers, Eclipse for Java EE developers or Eclipse Classic). If you find any other error, you can report it in the mailing list at

[Haskell-cafe] Smarter do notation

2011-09-03 Thread Daniel Peebles
Hi all, I was wondering what people thought of a smarter do notation. Currently, there's an almost trivial desugaring of do notation into (=), (), and fail (grr!) which seem to naturally imply Monads (although oddly enough, return is never used in the desugaring). The simplicity of the desugaring

2011-09-03 Thread Daniel Peebles
With parsers, for example, it amounts to you have a context-free vs. a context-sensitive language. The functions hidden behind a monadic bind are effectively opaque to any sort of analysis, whereas the static structure of an applicative can be analyzed as much as you want. Ed Kmett does this in

Dear Haskellers, I'm a master student major of computer science and trying to find any topics for my master thesis. My mentor suggest me to find any topic I'm interested in. Therefore I'm thinking whether there are some topics related to FP and Haskell. Especially use such technology to
