Hi Knights, As I regretfully pointed out earlier in [Fwd: Re: Computer Language Shootout] large search and simulations are not for Haskell. This is equally true with GHC 6.5 http://eric_rollins.home.mindspring.com/haskellAnt.html.
Also there is much illusion about Haskell potential ease at handling mathematics. Yes Haskell is excellent for demonstration but trying to implement algorithms that would do trickier things is pretty tough. A thing where Haskell could potentially offer something that a regular CAS cannot is calculating a tensors with symbolic indices (without components) so that one could have components calculated for specific cases on the end of general calculation. Perhaps somebody more technical than me could take the challenge? It could lure theoretical physicists into Haskell which might pay back. One of them has recently provided Curry with the fastest compiler:-) Cheers, -Andrzej _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
