But you can split the computation at some suitable point, returning a continuation to 'calculate the rest later', then return to your 'update' function and have it return a Cmd to come back in later and continue the work. Did you try this technique? Its not ideal, but at least it makes it no longer a stopper. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
