Goals

These are some proposed goals and guidelines for the project:

• Don't worry about backward compatibility. We should learn from the mistakes of the past, not repeat them!
• Provide a fine-grained algebra.
• Provide convenient facilities for type composition and generic folds/unfolds.
• Implement a declarative IO system?
• Unambiguous semantics, when possible. When there is more than one possible instance of a type class for one data type, use newtype wrappers for all of those instances (no instance for the unwrapped version).
