How do you do OOP-style polymorphic functions in O'Haskell? My first
attempt looked something like this:
struct Base
struct Derived < Base =
value :: Int
theValue :: Base -> Maybe Int
theValue x = Just (x.value) -- problem line
theValue _ = Nothing
In the problem line, x is considered to be of type Base, so x.value gives
an error. I tried replacing it with
theValue (x :: Derived) = Just (x.value)
...but that doesn't work either.
