Notice that since this work: http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/Papers/optimistic/icfp2003.pdf the performance of Haskell programs compiled by GHC has increased a lot without the need for the developer to fully understand the implications of lazyness in Haskell... -- WildHeart'2k6 - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] My digipics and blogs: http://spaces.msn.com/members/wildy2k5/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
