I think that the one which you cited refered to implementing the ST monad (which needs unsafe primitives, AFAIK) while you refer to implementing algorithms using the ST monad (which normally avoids unsafe primitives). > [...] Best regards, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
