In fact avoiding space leaks was one of the motivations for our moving to an arrow framework for FRP (now called Yampa). Arrows amount to a point-free coding style, although with "arrow syntax" the cumbersomeness of programming in that style is largely alleviated.

Hello,

 The (almost) point-free versions run faster than my "fast"
imperative version and take up significantly less heap space-- even
the version which reads everything and then writes takes up about 1/3
the heap space as my version.

 I get the impression that point-free style is a preventive measure
against space leaks.

thanks again,
 Jeff
