Example for Generalised Algebraic Datatypes in Haskell Used to create a safe list type

	data Safe a = Safe a
	data NotSafe = NotSafe
	data SafeList a b where
	Nil :: SafeList a NotSafe
	Cons :: a -> SafeList a b -> SafeList a (Safe b)


	safeHead :: SafeList a (Safe b) -> a
	safeHead (Cons x _) = x
	-- safeHead Nil = ???

Translating Python to Haskell, keeping core concepts

	# A simple class in Python
	class car():
	# The __init__ method
	def __init__(self, color):
	self.color = color

	# The color method
	def color(self):
	return self.color

simple type problem in ruby

	irb(main):001:0> "false" ? true : false
	(irb):1: warning: string literal in condition
	=> true

	# no warning if string is not a literal

Haskell underestimates parameter types and overestimates return types.

	and _ False = False
	and False _ = False
	and _ _ = True

	-- inferred type: Bool -> Bool -> Bool
	-- underestimated parameter type: the function would also work called like this:
	and 42 False
	-- and return False; the type checker throws an error for this though.

	and' _ False = 0

Type System restrictions: Haskell forces constructors to be unambigous, erlang (dialyzer) doesn't care.

	data T1 = Bernd \| Uwe
	data T2 = Bernd \| Flo

Showing that a function that depends only on a single attribute of a map like data structure is also possible with static records/structs. This allows adding/removing attributes from the record without modification of the all_members function.

	data Project = Project {
	projId :: String,
	projKind :: ProjectKind,
	projDescription :: String,
	projBudget :: Int,
	projTeam :: [Person]
	}

	all_members :: [Project] -> [Person]
	all_members projects = concat $ map projTeam projects

	cw = @CurrentFont['cw']
	width = @w - @rMargin - @x if (width == 0)
	wmax = (width - 2 * @cMargin) * 1000 / @FontSize
	s = text.gsub("\r", '')
	nb = s.length
	nb -= 1 if nb > 0 && s[nb-1] == "\n"
	sep = -1
	i, j, l = 0, 0, 0
