[Haskell-beginners] Equivalence of Inheritance

[Antoine Latter]

Sorry, I really don't know enough about what you're after to attempt that.

But you'll need to change you're signatures of the form:

> function :: Person -> Foo

to something of the form:

> function :: Person p => p -> Foo

Because again, a type class can not be used as a type.
