Finally found a copy. It is a good read. I mostly agree with him. The biggest exception is about the need for highly optimized, near the machine level, representations of the naturals. 17 years later with much better computers, I think the unary representation works just fine, and transparently conveys what it means. -- Aaron Denney -><- _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
