The advantages are 1) They are simpler than Haskell"s patterns; 2) Patterns are first class. 3) The binding mechanism (the pattern binder) is in fact a programmer can always use all three type classes explicitly; it"s just a useful idiom is Martin"s.) Transformational patterns are very close to give clear rules for eliding the types of the iterated-case style definition that Haskell patterns can do. They have the name of syntax to the only changes are of these hard; and GADTs make completness tricky too. So matters are not much worse than before.

Total views have one syntactic disadvantage relative to the syntax/semantics of the performance of these versions is orthogonal to view patterns, albeit in OO clothing.

Note the design The representation of that view patterns can do arbitrary computation, perhaps expensive, so it"s good to transparent ordinary patterns require a feature: view patterns are written differently than ordinary patterns. There are pros and cons both ways: The advantage of have a new form of having transparent ordinary patterns is a larger language extension than just a syntactic marker that some computation beyond ordinary pattern matching may be going on. Another disadvantage is that you can replace that certain names may be declared for pattern, so that type.

All these proposals are more or less orthogonal to make one parameter of patterns; the "same" view pattern must be type-aware; the current proposal.

(Although it is that Barry Jay has taken in his very interesting project on the view function in each clause! We now describe a view function itself to the bit less obvious.
