| Subject: | Overloading |
(My apologies for the lack of a French version of this message) Hi Caml'ers, One of the things I miss the most when I'm working in Caml is overloading. There are numerous situations, such as arithmetic, linear algebra (where I may want multiplication between scalars, vectors, matrices, and higher order tensors), I/O (read/write/open), etc. where it is IMO the "right thing". Are there any plans to add some form of overloading to Caml in the future? I know that the Haskell folks plan to remove the single parameter restriction in type classes and gain more expressiveness in these areas, but none of the ML family of languages I know of support any overloading. My experience with overloading in Ada is almost entirely positive. -- Brian
