Yaron, This is probably out-of-topic, but: are you, or have you considered, using the .NET implementation of OCaml. I managed - painstakingly - to integrate it into a toy .NET project of mine, using .NET Direct3D, and see some virtue in that combination. If only we Haskellers would be as lucky: b

Yaron, would you mind sharing the reason your firm chose OCaml over Haskell for your applications? For others, I would love to organize an informal gathering of NYC Haskell programmers if there are any. If you are interested, please contact me and I'll try to make it happen. -Alex- _

[Haskell] The Monad.Reader - Become an author for the Haskell eZine!

2005-02-03 Thread Shae Matijs Erisson
There are plenty of academic papers about Haskell, and plenty of informative pages on the Haskell Wiki. But there's not much between the two extremes. The Monad.Reader aims to fit in there; more formal than a Wiki page, but less formal than a journal article. Want to write about a tool or applicat

Axel, ... However, they do not directly solve my problem in the bigger program which still has the same linearly growing memory requirement. The problem seems to be very, very hard to find. I suspect it is related to lazyness as in the gibs example, but I just cannot put my finger on the code that

Hi, Both variants of the strict zipWith solved the gibs problem I posed: gibs = 1 : 1 : f gibs (tail gibs) where f (x:xs) (y:ys) = z `seq` z : f xs ys where z = min (x + y) 10 by Simon MArlow and zipWith' f (x:xs) (y:ys) = let z = f x y
