I don't find that with Haskell. It's statically typed but the types are almost always inferred. If you see an explicit type, it's usually because the author thinks it helps explain something. (I don't want to start a Haskell/Python thread -- the only point is that static typing does not inevitably imply lots of 'boilerplate'.) -- Ben. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
