I'm curious what experts think too. So far I just guess it is because of clean type system getting better hints for optimizations:
* it is easy to mark stuff strict (even in function signatures etc), so it is possible to save on unnecessary CAF creations * uniqueness types allow to do in-place modifications (instead of creating a copy of an object on heap and modifying the copy), so you save GC time and also improve cache hit performance Peter. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
