There're several. Perhaps the most obvious if your scripting language will do IO anyway is just to use IORefs, or you could use the ST monad or a map from references to values (good for debugging purposes because you can keep an entire trace in memory - because individual maps're immutable, they can share data so this means less memory consumed than you might think). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Performance anxiety leads to premature optimisation _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
