Wind-what?
How dare you, Sir...
I use Windows well hidden and locked alone inside my bathroom, deeply
ashamed. This was a two-processor Sparc under Solaris 2.7, but the
Hugs version is obsolete, I see it now. Anyway, I should not have used
the term "bomb". I received a decent error message without breaking
anything, although when somebody manages to wipe all the disks in
our department, it will be the endlosung of our old dream to clean-up
the system, which we need since the Deluge.

Apart that, ceterum censeo that if Haskell wants to adapt itself to
the needs of the scientific (or para- ) community, it has to reinvent
some specific fast iterators/relators/comprehensions on arrays.
Otherwise there is no point in using it at all in such context;
the name of Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll in reality is Legion.
