One problem you might run into is:
a = 4
b = 5
splitAt (a - b) [1..]
If you don't know what a or b are beforehand, you might be opening up a can
of uncomputable worms.

Hello,
Could you explain this behaviour?
splitAt (-1) "Foobar" ("","Foobar") splitAt (-100) "Foobar" ("","Foobar")
I don't understand why splitAt (-1) "Foobar" doesn't output this: ("r", "Fooba") or this: ("", "Fooba")
How does it work?
Python's list slicing looks similar, but results for negative values differ:
a = "Foobar" a[:-1] 'Fooba'
Thanks
