currently i'm working on stuff that looks something like this:
1 read soundfile from disk in blocks of N samples (IOCArray, hsndfile package) 2 convert to CArray with unsafeFreeze (simple O(1) cast, carray package) 3 perform FFT (CArray, fftw package) 4 convert to UArr (uvector package) 5 do some stuff with vectors
[snip]
It would be helpful to see the programs people are writing with uvector, so I can polish up the API some more :)
It would also be helpful to have someone explain why we have: Ptr a ByteString IOUArray IOCArray Data.Storable.StorableArray UArr Of course, I know the answers to some of those questions, ByteString is obviously less polymorphic than all the others there, and Ptr a doesn't contain size information. But it seems we have a rapidly bifurcating profusion of 'typed interfaces to chunks of memory' with no obvious consistency to their naming scheme and I think it's starting to get confusing... Jules
