Re: [Haskell-beginners] When to use ByteString rather than [Char] ... ?

Hi James There's a paper describing the implementation of ByteStrings here: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/papers/CSL06.html http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/papers/fusion.pdf For my own work, I generally need short immutable strings and haven't found ByteStrings compelling, though the results presented in the above suggest [Char] is better at nothing and worse at many things. [Hmm - insert emoticon here] Best wishes Stephen
