-- Yi
that's the error message I got following the instructions on http://www.nobugs.org/developer/yi/building.html
setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: fingertree -any make: *** [dist/setup-config] Error 1
Where can I get fingertree from? Do I need a specific version of this package?
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/fingertree-0.0 Always a good idea to check Hackage when dependencies are missing.
-- Data.ByteString
Where can I read more about GHC options like -XOverloadedStrings or this ":: ByteString" type declaration?
The ByteString API documentation, presumably.
I did not know ByteString was less performant than a linked list of characters. It is used even in the language shootout benchmark programs.

As Don said, it's a matter of domain. For small amounts of data, the overhead erases the performance gains - although no one is denying that for medium (like you see on the Shootout) to large amounts of data (up to tera-, I think someone benchmarked) ByteString is excellent. -- gwern O/S bet pipe-bomb SARA Adriatic BSS M5 LBSD NOCS CBNRC
