I hope that the GHC people will give to this a high priority. Specially for the people of FP Complete for which this should be a first target. I know that Simon Peyton Jones gave up in "avoid success at all costs" and not it invest in the industry. Isn't? Alberto - frictionfreedemocracy.o

Maybe it is possible to do something In a google summer of code. Nothing as sophisticated as the Helium paper ("Scripting the Type Inference Process", but maybe a partial implementation of the techniques mentioned, so that the development can be enhanced in the future. Maybe some kind of library

Stephen The paper is very interesting. We need something like that: ... As a result, the beginning programmer is likely to be discouraged from pro-gramming in a functional language, and may see the rejection of programs as a nuisance instead of a blessing. The experienced user might not look at t

Helium - Utrecht University's simplified Haskell - had scriptable "Type inference directives" so the creator of an EDSL was able to augment the type checker to provide better error messages, see: Scripting the Type Inference Process Bastiaan Heeren Jurriaan Hage S. Doaitse Swierstra _

Hi I ever was worried about the barrier that the complexity of the Haskell errors impose to users of DSLs. Many DSLs look so simple that even someone without knowledge of Haskell can make use of them for some domains. However when the program is compiled then al the monsters of the deep appear in
