RE: difference between (evaluate . runST) and stToIO

2002-08-13 Thread Simon Marlow
I can't seem to figure out what the difference is between using evaluate (runST action) and stToIO action when in the IO monad and running something in ST...they seem to behave identically...are they? If they are, why do they have different type signatures (one is ST

Hi all...I'd read through the results of the survey and there seemed to be a sentiment that people tend to build their own in-house utilities and don't share them. I have a small one, but if anyone wants to use it, they're of course welcome. I have made it available at:

OTOH, if you want to do anything useful with any language you have to learn to do IO (and simple IO is tackled early in most languages), and therefore you must deal with Monads. I often wish that Haskell books and tutorials would introduce IO earlier; it is often near the end, in the advanced
