Well, you've switched back to using unsafe operations there, Donald ;-) Anyway, before you guys get too narked at me ;-) I'd just like to say that I'm very impressed by the work that is going on in Haskell. I wouldnt be here otherwise. Haskell stands a very good chance of solving one of the great unsolved issues at this time, which is: managing threading. Just dont want you guys to get too complacent ;-) Running benchmarks against Java and so on is much more motivational than running against g++, because you can no longer say "oh well Java is faster because it doesnt have a GC!", because clearly it does; and bounds-checking, and many other useful goodies besides. So keep up the good work. I'm quite happy for my tax dollars to be being spent on Haskell research :-) and I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes out of it.
