[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: barchart-0.1.1

[Sebastian Fischer]

barchart is a command-line program with associated Haskell library for  
generating bar charts, for example, from CSV files. It has special  
support for creating charts from data generated by the Haskell  
benchmarking tools criterion and progression.

Instead of drawing bars of different benchmarks next to each other  
like progression does, barchart draws one bar for each benchmarked  
implementation where the benchmarks are represented as blocks of the  
same bar. As a consequence, one can recognise on first sight, which  
implementation is the fastest _in total_ because the hight of each bar  
is the sum of run times of all benchmarks for an implementation.  
Another difference to progression is that barchart is (only) a post  
processor and you usually do not import barchart modules into your  
Haskell code.

Please refer to the project website for more information:

I would not have written this program without the Diagrams library by  
Brent Yorgey and the CmdArgs package by Neil Mitchell. Thank you for  
your excellent libraries!

I hope barchart is useful for some of you!

Sebastian
