Also related is Manuel Chakravarty et al's array fusion (http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/papers/CK01.html) which hopefully will introduce array comprehensions into Haskell shortly (see http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/afp02/). _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
