deliverable: At this very moment I'm struggling with fitting a huge graph of Twitter communications into a Haskell program. Apparently it gets into a loop freeing memory. As I suspected, JVM garbage collector got more testing than Haskell at this scale; since not many people load it up as much, it may be less tested. Did you talk to Simon Marlow yet? Unlike the JVM, we provide direct access to the GC developers when you run into trouble. :) -- Don ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
