Haskell is conspicuously absent from the languages used to tackle Tim Bray's Wide Finder problem (http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/ 2007/10/30/WF-Results?updated). So far we have Ocaml, Erlang, Python, Ruby, etc... Bryan quickly wrote a program on his blog (http://www.serpentine.com/ blog/2007/09/25/what-the-heck-is-a-wide-finder-anyway/) that would place Haskell right in the second position. JoCaml is the fastest so far (http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?fast- widefinder)... Can Haskell do better ? Care to take a shot ? Manu
