[Haskell-cafe] Re: "Functional dependencies conflict between instance declarations"

[bf3 at telenet.be]

Are you kidding, or has automatic proving of programs evolved that far?

Anyway, for my sector, videogames, "proving" if something works correctly is
subjective, it's very hard to check if "the gameplay of a game is good
enough" since that involves human fuzzy judgement ;-)  Although this might
just be statistics, so can be proven too! Aaarrrggghhhh, soon we're all out
of job ;-)

Next stop: Coq, where the fight with the type checker is so much more
difficult that when the code finally type checks you don't even need to
run it at all.
