Functional C++?  As though C++ were missing the kitchen
sink.  Can't you guys just stick with Scheme or ML?

Err, I think that's ``functional'' as in ``working'' not as
in functional programming.  The idea of functional C++ is...
scary.  But there's always ocaml....

No, but hugs should be very easy.  GHC, on the other hand, would
probably be quite a handful.

Oh, look!

Yes, that's what I thought as well.  GHC would be prefered, but
is non-trivial to port.

Oh neato....  Now we need a programming language called ``pepto'' to
counter act all this curry code.

Also, I think the GHC runtime is currently being redesigned and
reimplemented, so it's probably not a great time to start a port.

Perhaps the thing to do is to track the progress one of the open source
implementations of the Microsoft .NET CLR.  It's already targetted by
many compilers for other functional languages, and official GHC support
is on the way.

Good to know, thanks.

Err, maybe we'd better ask Boyd what he thinks about that.

no 14 page switch statement ain't worth portin' ...

yeah double negative, but no bogus foriegn language nonsense.

What's that in dog-years^H^H^H^H^H a jump table?

Yes, I am just looking for a (working) C++ compiler. Sorry for the word "functional" --> beat my English!

Re: [9fans] C++ compiler anyone?

[andrey mirtchovski]

i don't see why porting gcl to p9 would be a problem -- compile the
interpreter with ape and fire your lithp code away...

clisp is a bit more difficult though -- its cli involves ncurses...

have i had a working p9 installation i wouldn't mind giving it a go (i.e.
you should try compiling gcl yourself :) 

sorry, no advice on scheme :(

andrey

ps: i'd like to know how do 9fans feel towards LITHP or Haskell and the like
'functional' stuff...

I partially ported SXM to Plan 9, take a look at
<http://www.malgil.com/sxm/> There are still missing things in the
Plan 9 version, the most conspicuous being the lack of Unicode
support. It could probably be fixed without changing the SXM character
model, though.

In the past I've wondered how to do lisp indenting with proportional fonts.
For haskell you can just use tabs and not try to get fancy with offside rule
(I do haskell in wily), but that doesn't work so well for lisp.  I guess you
just switch to fixed mode and deal with it.
