The way I see it as a newcomer, Haskell shifts the typical imperical
programming bugs like null pointers and buffer overruns towards
"space/time leaks", causing programs that either take exponentially long
to complete, stack overflow, or fill up the swap file on disc because
they consume gigabytes of memory. Other bugs I found are incomplete
pattern matches at runtime, but I already got an email of how to fix
this using an external tool, although it would be nice if this is part
of the compiler/linker itself.
How well and how can a Haskell program be tested to make sure it does
not cause these space/time bugs? What tools are typically used?
Thanks,
Peter
