&gt; Hi everyone,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Every time I want to use an array in Haskell, I find myself having to<br>
&gt; look up in the doc how they are used, which exactly are the modules I<br>
&gt; have to import ... and I am a bit tired of staring at type signatures<br>
&gt; for 10 minutes to figure out how these arrays work every time I use them<br>
&gt; (It&#39;s even worse when you have to write the signatures). I wonder how<br>
&gt; other people perceive this issue and what possible solutions could be.<br>
<br>
My opinion, it&#39;s every bit as bad you say it is...<br>
Not a clue as to what can be done about it.<br>
<br>
Probably yet another vector module.<br>
<br>
<br>
