Hello everybody,
each time I write an application that makes use of command line arguments
I have to copy&paste the code for dealing with these args to my program
from a reference implementation, because it is so hard to remember.
What do you think about changing the default type of main or providing
an alternative, e.g., main_args, just like in C or Java?
I think this would simplify everyday-programming a lot. Or are there
any severe theoretical (semantical) problems (main is running in the IO
monad either way)?
Ciao,
Steffen
