Better make that 1 1/2. I'd like to be able to call Haskell from C (well,
same thing, C++), because a lot of my data structure analysis and
visualisation stuff for the C++ programs that I'm `developing' is written
in Haskell. (Basically this is stuff that only I use so I don't need to
worry about usability or maintainability by other people nor worry about
extreme efficiency.) It's not a full 1 point demand because, since it's
not time critical, I can communicate via intermediate files. But it is a
bit of a pain having to write everything out in a sufficiently careful way
that I can write a Haskell routine that will read it in again without
mangling it.
