I think that you misunderstood what I said. When we went from FRP to Yampa, we changed from using signals directly, i.e. Signal a, to using signal functions, i.e.: SF a b = Signal a - Signal b When we did this, we made SF abstract, and we adopted the arrow framework to allow

Hello, Good, writeCSV writes out every row immediately after it got it. I eliminated (++ [nl]) in the hope of reducing the constant factor slightly. Using difference lists for that is nicer but here you go. I'm not sure how you'd use difference lists here. Also, for some reason GHC runs
