[Haskell-cafe] Scrap your boilerplate

[Joachim Durchholz]

Every language has its idioms where a word-by-word translation would be 
misleading. Even communities have this, and programming is no exception.
"Boilerplate" is a term from the programming community, and you simply 
have to learn its meaning in programming - just as the meanings of "the 
program knows", "bus", "keyboard", "tree", etc. etc. pp.
