Within the Haskell community, it is well-known that
String
is a really awful type, and it should be avoided. Unfortunately the Drasil prototype start out withString
in its foundations, and now it's going to be a lot of work to fix it all.But there is hope. We do have some isolated interfaces between packages, and we could migrate things. One things that should help a lot is a new package TTC (Textual TypeClasses) which is now on Hackage, and also comes with lots of explanations.
It's a little premature to jump right now, as discussions about the package will probably lead to some tweaks to it, but it's definitely something worth keeping an eye on.
