[Haskell-cafe] Best way to return Bool based on a successful pattern match?

[Niklas Haas]

For this specific use case, you can also consider list comprehensions:

[ x | x@(DataDefinition _) <- tlds ]

I personally greatly prefer this over something like ‘filter’ + an ugly
lambda, especially if you can use the list comprehension for the rest of
your processing as well.
