I'd chime in here -- actually getting arrays and parallel arrays with list-like interfaces, and then onto matrices, will impact a lot of people's work, in a good way. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
