Hi Don,

I noticed your Clifford Algebra some time ago and was impressed. Geometric Algebra with
its infinite dimensional structures needs lazy evaluation so Haskell should shine, no
doubt. It will be interesting to see how far GADT can help us from here.

But first somebody should try to rewrite DoCon or start from scratch. This is a major job
however but the literature is there and an assured path to fame:-)

With your enthusiasm for implementing mathematics you must have attracted a handful of
right guys to Haskell Don! the organization should start to think of some place for you in
its future museum:-)

Cheers,
-Andrzej
