I've just uploaded deepseq-1.0.0.0 to Hackage
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/deepseq
This provides a DeepSeq class with a deepseq method, equivalent to
the existing NFData/rnf in the parallel package.
<http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe>
If it's equivalent, what are the relevant differences? Why would I
choose DeepSeq over NFData or vice versa?
Considering that he said he's going to be using it in parallel, the
difference is merely that it's usable *without* parallel. It's about
dependencies, not functionality.
Yes, that's exactly it. No new functionality relative to NFData, just
moving it to a more appropriate place.
Cheers,
Simon
