Why not the plain old heap profiler? Edward
Excerpts from Yitzchak Gale's message of 2017-08-30 18:34:05 +0300: > I need a simple heap visualization for debugging purposes. > I'm using GHC 8.0.2 to compile a large and complex yesod-based > web app. What's the quickest and easiest way? > > Vacuum looks simple and nice.
