Domain Specific Languages hierarchy discussion

Yet another programming language forum

If any language designers are interested, I am offering to host forums dedicated to their language at http://www.heron-forums.com and give them moderator privileges.

For any other who happens to really love programming language oriented weblogs, I might as well plug my own at the same time at http://www.heron-centric.com which focuses on the Heron programming language.

Generics for the masses

Ralf Hinze. Generics for the masses. In Kathleen Fisher, editor, Proceedings of ICFP'04, Snowbird, Utah, September 19-22, 2004.

Mentioned (with no link) on LtU1.

Hinze shows how to program generically in Haskell 98, making extensive use of type classes.

Those interested in generic programming should make sure they are familiar with references cited in section 5 (many of which were discussed here in the past).
