[Haskell-cafe] OO "dot" notation and records...

[Alexey Raga]

Not really.

You have intellisense suggesting you functions in modules (e.g. if you
import Data.List as List and then type "List dot" it can suggest you some
functions).
You can also have almost "OO-style" dot-notation for records via lenses
like "myUser ^. address . street" (or myUser ^. field @"address" .
field @"street" if you use generic-lens). But I doubt that there is
something that suggests you "fields" on "dot", since in Haskell they are
not really fields, they are "normal" functions. Haskell doesn't really have
records in that context.

Best Regards,
Alexey Raga
