What on earth are you talking about? Tons of other languages do type classes "the haskell way". Which is also known as "type classes". Scala doesn't have type classes, it has a close approximation.

What other languages do type classes like Haskell?
All of them? Who else has broken almost like typeclasses other than scala?
All of the languages? Go doesn't have them. Neither does C.
Obviously, all of the languages with type classes. Those languages do not have "type classes" like scala does, which is what I was replying to.
So basically what you are saying is "Haskell has Haskell's typeclasses!".

That's a yuuuuge amount of languages that follow "Haskell"'s design! (Maybe you should start counting Haskell-to-X compilers separately to pad the number "1" a bit?)

Please read the posting guidelines and contribute constructively or not at all.
Not these (at least):

Idris – implicit arguments

Agda – instance arguments

OCaml – Modular implicits
