Interesting. It seems that "every second language" gets "type-classes" these days…

C++ added such feature, this above looks like a Python version, Rust has it, Scala had them as one of the first "OOP" languages.

It's nice to see that Haskell pioneered a very useful and now spreading language feature!

Ada had them before Haskell, and I'm not even sure it was the first language with them.
