"Haskell's overlooked object system"

by O. Kiselyov (FNMOC, Monterey, CA, USA)
and R. Laemmel (Microsoft Corp., WA, USA)

This archived report covers these topics: the relation between
type-class-bounded + parametric polymorphism and subtype polymorphism;
OO programming in Haskell 98; OO programming with common Haskell 98
extensions; Haskell encodings of common OO idioms such as encapsulation,
mutable state, inheritance, overriding, statically checked implicit and
explicit subtyping; advanced OO features such as first-class lexically
scoped classes, implicitly polymorphic classes, flexible multiple
inheritance, safe downcasts and safe co-variant arguments, width and
depth, structural and nominal subtyping, type inference for object
types, safe value recursion.
