Hello Simon,

With bytestrings, unboxed arrays, light-weight threads and other tricks, we can usually replace all those ugly low-level programs with nice high-level haskell ones
i don't think that these 3 libs allows to write high-level high-performance code in *most* cases. just for example, try to write wc without using "words".
To a newbie, that's a cryptic statement. Are you saying that these libs aren't needed to make a high-performance "wc", and that the Prelude functions are sufficient? (I note too that there is Data.ByteString.Char8.words, but I assume you are talking about the Prelude function.) Graham
