I might be wrong but I think this is a weak spot for many functional langs, including Haskell - The ability to manipulate in high rate data structures without killing the performance . Even in langs like Clojure, which enable the cheap creation of new modified structures out of old ones(using "persistent structures") -it is much slower than using an imperative language to manipulate data in place. What is the approach of Haskell to this ? -- Regards, Gabi http://bugspy.net
