Re: [Haskell-beginners] Important coding guideline and library proposal

23 Nov 2009

      G'day all.

Quoting Daniel Fischer :
...
Proposal:
rename 'length' to   
'yesIReallyWantToKnowTheExactLengthOfThisListSoPleaseCalculateItForMe'
to reduce performance bugs caused by naive uses of length.
genericYesIReallyWantToKnowTheExactLengthOfThisListSoPleaseCalculateItForMe

Another option is to rename Data.List to Data.List.YesIKnowThisIsNotAnArray.

Cheers,
Andrew Bromage
