Though Data.Text still has the disadvantage of not being as nice to deal with as String, since you can't pattern match on it, etc. Whilst it may degrade performance, treating String as a list of characters rather than an array provides you with greater flexibility of how to deal with it. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic [email protected] IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
