That's why they're nice and fast. Simon, can you please write some docs about all these foreign stuff and their interaction with pure Haskell code? i see some bits of this information in these newsgroups regularly (for example, are you remember discussion about using lots of hashtables in program?), but there is no definitive source there is no need to write full-fledged doc right now, just "implementation notes" as the list of peculiarities will be great for the start -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:bulatz@HotPOP.com
