i've improved memory usage of my program 3 times one month after i've started to use Haskell, and 4 times more 1.5 years later (the last improvement included development of ByteString-alike library and strictifying some computations). i think that for programming-in-large experienced haskeller may reach C-like level of efficiency, unlike for programming-in-small (i.e. implementation of raw computations) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
