Module systems aren't much more than castrated object systems, so I don't see a real benefit of picking some half-assed module system over a first-class object system.
- cies 12y agoHaskell modules may be lacking in some aspect, but I certainly dont think they are half-assed. They are conceptually very simple and the community got quite far with them. I also dont think that Haskell-modules and objects are on the same level, for instance: Haskell's modules do not encapsulate state.
