[Haskell-cafe] Importing more modules by default

2013-08-07 Thread aditya bhargava
Hi there, It seems like every Haskell program I write imports the following modules: Control.Monad Control.Applicative Data.Maybe Data.List Is there a good reason why these modules aren't imported by default? When I write a simple script usually a 1/4th of the script is just imports, and my code

As a side note, I have stopped having cabal issues since I started using hsenv. It sandboxes packages for you. So if you have install problems you just need to delete a local .hsenv directory instead of reinstalling everything. On Jun 12, 2013 11:15 PM, "Richard A. O'Keefe" wrote: > My original p

Hey all, I work at scribd.com. A few weeks ago we had released an AI game. It allowed you to use Javascript to program a bot. I've been wanting to add Haskell as a supported language for some time, and it's finally done! I'm pretty excited since I think we are the first big company to do something

[Haskell-cafe] Generalizing (++) for monoids instead of using (<>)

2012-04-01 Thread aditya bhargava
After asking this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9963050/standard-way-of-joining-two-data-texts-without-mappend I found out that the new infix operator for `mappend` is (<>). I'm wondering why ghc 7.4 didn't generalize (++) to work on monoids instead. To me, (++) is much more clear.
