Quite impressed with 4.02 so far -- it walks the walks, see promohype
elsewhere, why should I give you all too much free advertising? ;-)
It does indeed seem to be more go-faster than 3.02, _but_:
No profiling! Boo, hiss.
Funny space behaviour -- a module I have that contains just one king-sized
constant definition (169K of structured list) now takes _much_ more heap
to compile with 4.02 vs. 3.02. Details on request if this is a unduly
Surprising result.
Parting shot: isAlphaNum vs. isAlphanum? Haven't we been here before?
Don't the committee have more amusing (and less pointless and gratuitously
program-breaking) things to tinker with? (I know, nothing to do with
ghc, I'm just in a mood to 'give out'...)
Slan libh,
