Hal, What is the syntactic sugar that you are lacking with arrays? Also, do loops matter if they can be emulated with recursion? Thanks, Joel On Dec 24, 2005, at 12:46 AM, Hal Daume III wrote:
That said, I use O'Caml for all of my non-Perl coding. Why? Because I need lots of arrays and though Haskell does support them, the lack of syntactic sugar makes it very inconvenient. Second, lack of loop support, which I can live without. Finally, it's slower. I would forgive the last (it can be made faster if you use unboxed arrays and so on) if the first two were fixed.
