Hello,
We are just beginning a study about using Haskell to do some
electromagnetic numeric simulations (just = this month !).
We already have written a Common Lisp program that solves finite
difference equations using a special method that takes advantage of
lazy evaluation. Lazy evaluation is coded directly IN the program, only
where necessary ;->
We are going to write the same algorithm, but in Haskell. This will
allow us
a) to know more about this language (We haven't written a line of
Haskell code yet)
b) to measure the overhead (if some ;->) of using a lazy-language
instead of simulating lazy evaluation where needed.(BTW, references to
related work would be welcome).
Hope we'll be able to give more precise information this summer,
Eric.
