OTOH when i say here that haskell produce slow code, you can't belive me and saying that haskell is so great that it can't have any shortages. well, i use Haskell for complex algorithms and C++ for performance-critical parts of program which resulted in development of world-fastest archiver. if you know how to write high-level haskell programs that are as fast as C++ code - please tell us just now -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
