Since it’s such a common problem I’d say it would be a good idea to add a package to Hackage that exports
primes :: [Integer]
and hides the ugly implementation details. Data.Numbers.Primes seems a logical choice for the namespace, but I’m open to suggestions.
Excellent idea. Picking the most efficient implementation from the start isn't really necessary; if you find a faster implementation later you can just upload a new version. The API is unlikely to change in such a case anyway. Martijn.
