[Haskell-cafe] Current status of Annotations

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Annotations are indeed implemented and in the HEAD.  Looking at [1], the writeup looks historically skewed, rather than being a crisp writeup of what is actually there.

I wonder if Max or Tristan might improve the situation (after the Haskell workshop deadline)?  As it happens Tristan's Haskell Workshop submission makes essential use of annotations.

| Hello,
|
| I've been reading about Annotations [1] as implemented during last
| years Summer of Code, and about some earlier ideas [3] [2]. It seems
| though that these annotations have never been merged into HEAD [4].
|
| Could anyone elaborate on the current status of this proposal? Has
| there been any further work or discussion about this subject that I
| haven't been able to dig up?
