Pity about the algebraic data types + multiple inheritance. That probably won't play nice.



Totally. Even the guy who first introduced data types + multiple inheritance has come out to say that it's the worst thing he has ever done in the whole history of everything from always.


Who is that guy?


No guy, this is sort of an inside joke about the nil discussion. Every time Hoare comes up.


Got it. Thanks :-)
