Re: fplangc

Hi Asher, good question! I've been waiting in case 'former members' might
respond.

You're presumably aware of Wadler's 'Proposal: Overloading in Haskell' 1988
that originally appeared on fplangc. Link from
https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/topics/type-classes.html

I've tried the wayback machine for [email protected], but got nothing
useful.

The repository I dig through is on wayback (various save dates)
http://web.archive.org/web/20151208175102/http://code.haskell.org/~dons/haskell-1990-2000/threads.html#00072
The earliest 1990 threads are clearly continuations from somewhere.
If ~dons (Don Stewart) kept archives of those, they're defeating my
google-fu.

But hmmm, wayback is unreliable: it can peremptorily just delete stuff if
it gets a copyright strike, or for no apparent reason.

The Haskell developers (for Hugs and ghc) generally published papers with
the motivations for their innovations.
What additional to that thinking do you hope to find in the mailing lists?

Good luck!
