Hi > length, take, drop and index working on machine-sized Ints by default > are really a bit of a wart, aren't they?
Yes. Also, having strict Int's by default is a bit ugly, in an otherwise lazy-by-default language. It's a place where Haskell decided to remove mathematical elegance for pragmatic speed... (Not that it isn't a worthwhile trade off, but it is still loosing something to gain something else) Thanks Neil _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
