the speaker talks about F# on .Net platform. Early on in the talk he says that they did F# because haskell would be "hard to make as a .Net language". Does anyone know what features of Haskell make it difficult as .Net language?
Laziness is the obvious one: a plain integer type in an ML-like language can map directly onto a .Net primitive value type, whereas Int in Haskell
has to map onto something boxed. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
