[Haskell-cafe] translating some C# abstractions into Haskell....

[Nicholls, Mark]

Lets say I've got 

Interface IFoo<X,Y>
    Where X : IBar
    Where Y : IBar
{
}


Would seem to translate roughly to....

class (IBar x, IBar y) => IFoo foo x y

? (or does it?)

Lovely....thank you very much....another small step forward.

Yes, but in the second version, it has to reconstruct (S a) before
comparing it to "one" where in the first it could do the comparison
directly. In this cas there may be some optimisation involved that
negate this difference but in many case it can do a real performance
difference.
The "as-pattern" (@ means as) is both practical and performant in most cases.
